Belfast to Dublin Monday 6th February 1893 |
|
Pilgrims travelled by train from Belfast to Dublin en route to Rome. They booked into the ‘Gresham’ and then made their way to the Church of the Oblate Fathers, Inchicore where all other pilgrims were assembling for Rosary and Benediction. The church was decorated with evergreens, banner and lights. A banner which was to be carried in Rome by the pilgrims was produced by the Sisters of Charity. It was made of white Irish poplin, trimmed with the richest gold lace. The pilgrims were given badges which they were to wear at all times.
