You are warmly invited to join our pilgrimage to Lourdes as a sick pilgrim, volunteer helper (we are looking for both qualified and non-qualified helpers) or a pilgrim to take part in some or all of our varied programme.

The pilgrimage does not only help the sick but also enables their regular carers to take a well-earned rest and have a break knowing that their loved ones are being properly cared for. For the sick our aim is to provide them with the spiritual consolations that being in Lourdes always brings, while our priests, doctors, nurses and helpers take care of all their spiritual and physical needs. Additionally, there are opportunities for the sick to relax and have a little fun. The helpers also gain a huge amount of satisfaction from serving Our Lady on the pilgrimage. It is very hard work but most rewarding and fulfilling. You may start a trip knowing no one, but you will return with a group of people whom you feel you have known for a lifetime, and with some of whom you will form lasting friendships.

If you wish to travel at another time, then try one of the alternatives listed on our  links page.
