At the opening Mass, celebrated at the Autel Esplanade, Bishop Vincent welcomed all those who had travelled to be part of the 1998 pilgrimage. During the week pilgrims took part in the International Mass in the Basilica of Saint Pius X, visited the village of Bartrès and attended Mass in the chapels of Saint Joseph and Saint Martin.

The final Mass took place at the Grotto on Sunday morning after which the pilgrims visited the statue of Saint Margaret where prayers were offered for the Diocese and the Church in Scotland. The pilgrimage returned home on Monday 3 August.
