21.01.2022 On Friday 20 March 2020, Lakeside Memorial Park will pay homage to the relics of a French saint during a stopover on their four-month pilgrimage of Australia organised by the Catholic Mission.

A Prayer Service will be attended by Fr Schmitzer. The four-month national pilgrimage is the first time in 18 years the relics are visiting Australia and Lakeside Memorial Park is one of only a handful of non-denominational memorial parks chosen to host them.The relics arrived in a hearse from Hansen & Cole Funerals, which was entrusted with transporting them through the Illawarra area.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to our office if you have any questions. http://ow.ly/ye0r50E4ddS
