General Assembly of the “Les Amis des Sanctuaries” Association
The "Amis des Sanctuaries" Association held its general assembly on Saturday, March 26, in Betharram. The Association is made up of 4 Betharramite religious and 30 lay people. The president is Fr. Laurent Bacho SCJ (Regional Vicar in France-Spain).
This Association contributes to a large extent to the monitoring of the work of the Calvary. The first 6 stations were restored thanks to public contributions (80%). The rest will be paid by the Sanctuaries and the Congregation. We are satisfied with this first part of the restoration which attracts pilgrims and visitors. The Way of the cross is also part of the GR 78 route (a route from Carcassonne to Saint Jean Pied de Port), traveled by pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.
A new part of the restoration (which includes the stations of the Way of the cross from 7 to 10) should begin in April and hopefully be over with the Chapel of the Resurrection in 2025!
