Welcome to the Web Site of Carfin Pilgrimage Centre, in the Diocese of Motherwell.

Here at Carfin we would like to invite you to experience a unique visitors attraction.  Our Centre is situated alongside Carfin Grotto, the National Marian Shrine of Scotland in the heart of Lanarkshire.

The Centre opened in June 1996 with the official opening by the late Cardinal Thomas Winning taking place a short time after on the 11th September 1996. 

Come join us and take the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims of the past.  Learn more about the pilgrims in a fascinating display of pilgrimage through the ages and from around the world.

Just as Faith is a gift from God, Pilgrimage is a journey of Faith
