Fête du Christ Roi dimanche 20 novembre 2022 Ce dimanche 20 novembre, après le chemin de Croix sous la pluie à 11h, et le ciel clément l’après midi a permis à plusieurs centaines de pèlerins venus en cars, voitures,… de se retrouver. Certains heureux de pouvoir être présents pour la première fois après la période Covid, et de prier ensemble sur cette terre bénie, à partir de 14h et de participer à la procession au Bassin de la Purification.

Fête de la Croix Glorieuse 14 septembre 2022 Ce mercredi 14 septembre, par une assez belle journée automnale, plusieurs centaines de pèlerins se sont rendus sur la Haute Butte pour prier au pied de la Croix et au bassin de la Purification.

Pèlerinage du lundi 28 mars 2022 Durant les 26, 27 et 28 mars, par ces trois belles journées ensoleillées, environ 1500 Pèlerins ont été accueillis sur le Haute Butte venant de toutes les régions de France et de l’étranger pour assurer le pèlerinage tout au long du week-end:

Malheureusement l’Eglise de Dozulé est restée fermée toute la journée du 28 mars, en ce 50ème anniversaire! et, ni le Pèlerins ni les paroissiens n’ont pu bénéficier de la messe habituelle ou venir s’y recueillir. Heureusement les prières des nombreux fidèles sur la Haute Butte ont été d’une rare ferveur.
