CPC at Lourdes in 1958

The picture above is a souvenir of a trip to Lourdes by students from Cross & Passion College in 1958, writes Brian Byrne.

It was the centenary year of the apparition of Our Lady at Lourdes, and the trip was taken during the Easter holidays.

Marie Moran, who was a student at the time, recalls the trip on the CPC website.

It's just one of the landmark points in the last 125 years since the Cross & Passion sisters arrived in Kilcullen, an event which is being celebrated this coming Friday evening.

Things kick off at 7pm, and everybody in Kilcullen is welcome to go along and celebrate with the College staff and students.
