Pontiff links up with Carfin Grotto for global rosary on glorious day of sunshine
Filmed by Vatican TV, this featured a “global rosary” led by the pontiff himself - in sizzlingly hot temperatures in both the Eternal City and Carfin!
It was thought great weather would show the grotto at its best – and there were no grounds for concern on that score, on what was the hottest day of the year so far!
A spokesperson for the Diocese of Motherwell said: “This showed the grotto to a worldwide audience and put the shrine on a par with some of the world’s most famous Marian shrines.”
