Father Laval

Every september 9, Mauritians of all faiths walk or drive towards the tomb of the Blessed Jacques Desire Laval, the "Apostle of the Black People" at Ste-Croix, Port Louis.

The belief in Pere Laval, to whom powers of healing are attributed, reminds us of the Lourdes Pilgrimage in France.
