Sending Forth: Lourdes pilgrims return home, bringing the fruits of their pilgrimage

July 31, 2025

Bishop Richard and many priests are seen in the sanctuary of the Eglise Ste Bernadette, at the moment of the Elevation of the Host.

At 9am today, Bishop Richard will celebrate Mass with a closing ceremony in Lourdes, sending the hundreds of pilgrims back to the Diocese, to take the fruits of their time in Lourdes to the Church at home.

Let us pray for all who are travelling today and for God’s blessing upon our Diocese.
