As the sun rose, so too did hundreds from the Laventille/Morvant Pastoral Area (LMPA), to make their way to St Theresa’s RC Church, Valencia for this year’s annual Lenten pilgrimage on March 10.
The agenda for the day commenced promptly at 8.30 a.m. with a procession through one of the settlements in the area. Pilgrims prayed the Stations of the Cross, sang, praised God and maintained the penitential mood for the morning.
These were led by each of the communities of St Dominic’s, Morvant; Corpus Christi, Success Village; St Jude’s, Trou Macaque; and National Marian Shrine, Laventille under the leadership of parish priest, Fr Trevor Nathasingh.
