Our pilgrimage is "Love in Action" and we journey to Lourdes to serve each other and to renew our commitment to walk with Jesus Christ.
The occasion reminds Christians of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples, that “they may be one so that the world may believe”
"Let us all come together for prayer, formation and the renewed mission for the world the Lord calls us to serve."
"Let the earth be opened and bring forth a Saviour."
"Each year we journey through the Liturgical Calendar, walking in the Life events of Jesus, knowing that He is Risen and walks with us."
