I belong to the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Betharram. Betharram is a small village and shrine to Our Lady about nine miles outside of Lourdes. Many people have heard of the Grottos of Betharram, but not so many about the shrine where our founder St Michael Garicoits brought our Congregation into being.
Call the parish office on 01782 613023 to book your place.
Contact the parish office on from Tuesday onwards between 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Other times you may leave a message but until we get back to you we cannot confirm a place.
You are also required to wear a face mask when you come to church unless you have an exemption such as breathing difficulties etc.
For making donations towards our parish by standing order, download the following gift aid form and post or drop through the presbytery letter box.

Adam here, I hope that you are all keeping well.
The website is updated with the weekly newsletter and Fr. Anton's weekly column.
Our Church reopens again today!
Please check out the resources for children and the Holy Mass from Redemption Publications.
View forthcoming events page for events happening in the diocese. Also visit the Archdiocese of Birmingham website.
Please look after yourselves.
My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.

Redemptorist Publications is pleased to introduce Celebrate; an initiative designed to help children grow in their faith.
Each week we will provide a video of the week’s Gospel reading, a reflection and a final prayer. Fun, engaging and practical worksheets/ resources will also be provided to help children continue to practise their faith during this season.
We pray that this new resource will encourage families and children to think about, grow and Celebrate their faith whilst having fun.
Although Sunday Masses are now being celebrated in parish churches, Redemptorist Publications is pleased to continue to offer Sunday Mass online, especially for those who cannot yet return to their parish church.
We pray that this will enable the faithful to feel connected, to their faith and church community, during this difficult time.
