French Coach Crash

[misereremi]

Please pray for the repose of the souls of the pilgrims including priests, and for the survivors. This is a terrible, tragic accident- I have just got emails about it from my family in CH, and they are sending updates:

"At least 26 people have died. The coach, carrying mostly elderly Roman Catholic pilgrims from Poland, fell into a ravine while descending a steep incline between Grenoble and Gap. The pilgrims were at the shrine of Notre-dame-de-la-Salette."
"Most pilgrims were in their 50s to 70s, but among them were three children — a 12-year-old and two 13-year-olds — and several people in their 20s and 30s, said Marcin Szklarski, president of Orlando Travel, which organized the pilgrimage.The travelers were mostly from the Szczecin area in northwestern Poland, near the German border. They had left July 10 for a two-week visit to famous sanctuaries in France, Spain and Portugal, Szklarski said."
