News ( Updated May 2007 )
Groups from all over the diocese are travelling as part of
the diocesan pilgrimage, and many people have booked already,
but there are still places available to travel by plane or
coach.
Old age, disability, frailty or ill health should not prevent
you from joining the pilgrimage. Every year a team of doctors,
nurses, adult helpers and young people go to Lourdes to assist
our pilgrims who suffer from poor health or mobility problems.
If you or somebody you know has always wanted to go to Lourdes
but know that you wouldn’t be able to manage on your
own, please contact Fr Anthony at the Pilgrimage Office for
further details.
Doctors and nurses required
To care for the sick pilgrims that come with us we are always
in need of doctors and nurses. If you would like to come on
the pilgrimage and help in this capacity we would be especially
delighted to hear from you.
