Exploring the church with humour and a smile – it really is possible! We’ll look at images that are sure to bring a smile to your face. And… to journey to Heaven with joy and a smile, you’re even offered two reliable means of doing so! Come and discover them! The Dominicans and the Carmelites could count on the support of the Mother of God, each with their own assurance. Their stories are depicted on two series of stained-glass windows. They are completely unknown to many. A ticket to Heaven is guaranteed! Guided tours: Sat 3pm, Sun 11am; 2pm; 4pm
