If you have been in the centre of Luxembourg over the last couple of days, you can’t have missed the fact that the Octave/Oktav is underway…markets, restaurants, and crowds thronging the cathedral mark this season each year. To find out more about the Octave, you can read the official flyer (EN/POR) here. The Octave Mass for our parish will be celebrated in the cathedral at 19:00 on the 21 May. Traditionally we have a procession from our church to the cathedral, with the children who have just made their First Holy Communion leading the way. We will leave St Alphonse for the cathedral at 18:30 on 21 May in procession — please do come along for this important event. The walk this year is relatively short — last year it was from Hollerich!
