Fr Laurent Bacho SCJ “missionary of mercy” in the parish of Cambo
On May 16, Monday after Pentecost, Fr Laurent Bacho, scj, "Missionary of Mercy", was invited to lead a pilgrimage in the Parish "St. Michael Garicoïts” at Cambo (France).
Fr Laurent joyfully accepted this invitation, remembering that St. Michael Garicoïts was vicar at Cambo for 21 months, from 1824 to 1825.
Pope Francis asked the "Missionaries of Mercy" to be "convincing Preachers of mercy", "Heralds of the joy of forgiveness" (Misericordiae Vultus, n. 18).
Father Laurent says: “I was impressed by this pilgrimage: there were about 300 faithful; a third of them clambered the mountain, despite the rain. The climbing took an hour and the pilgrims were singing and pray the Rosary all along. This shows the richness of popular piety!”
