A special solemnity marked the annual blessing of the sick on Sunday 25th August at the Tewatta basilica, which this year celebrates 50 years since it was recognised as the national shrine of Our Lady of Lanka. Pope Francis meets with leaders of the US Organized Communities
As is customary, Catholics and non-Catholics flocked from all over the country, reporting that they ‘received the blessings physically and in spirit’, some pilgrims said. A message on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of the Dedication of the National Basilica was sent by Pope Francis and read out by the Apostolic Nuncio in Sri Lanka, Msgr. Brian Udangwe. In the text, the pontiff recounts that he personally asked God for ‘the gift of courage and perseverance’ for the sick pilgrims who come to Tewatta.
