Tea parties are held throughout the year in a number of diocesan parish halls. Everyone is welcome to these special social events including people who have already been to Lourdes, local Assisted Pilgrims and those who are interested in coming on pilgrimage in the future. Upcoming Tea Parties will be listed on our Dates & Events page. Please contact us if you would like to host a Tea Party in your parish.
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." Matthew 18:20
Supporting each other in prayer is a central part of our Lourdes experience. The Prayer Network offers an opportunity to extend that support throughout the year. The Network is made up of assistant chaplains and pilgrims, both past and present, united in prayer for the intentions of our diocese and beyond. You are warmly invited to join the Network in one or more of the following ways:
- Request a prayer for yourself, a loved one or a cause that is important to you.
You are welcome to include a reason for the request (such as illness, surgery, bereavement or for comfort, health, healing, etc.) but there is no obligation to do so, and no personal details including names will be shared with anyone in the Prayer Network. Click the link below to email us, or call the Lourdes Pilgrimage Office on T: 01293 651147.
- Join the Prayer Network mailing list to receive a regular email with recently requested intentions, which we ask you to include in your own personal prayers.
- Take part in "Mondays with Mary", the online prayer sessions run by the assistant chaplains on the second Monday of each month.
