Many parishioners will hear a special appeal for donations to support our Lourdes Pilgrimage Fund this weekend.

Lourdes is a place of renewal, a place where our relationship with Jesus is deepened; however the pilgrimage relies on the generous help and support of people across our family of faith to provide financial help to many Assisted Pilgrims, and those who will care for them during our pilgrimage week.

59 diocesan parishes held a collection for the Lourdes Pilgrimage last year, with donations enabling our pilgrimage team to offer vital subsidies amounting to more than £60,000 to pilgrims who in other circumstances could not begin to contemplate the journey, let alone the financial burden that a week in France entails.
