Society of Mary Lourdes Pilgrimage

The year 2025 is a special one. It is a Jubilee year, a ‘year of grace’ (Is. 61:2) in which the debts and penalties of sin are forgiven. In other words, the Jubilee is a major celebration during which all pilgrims have the opportunity to immerse themselves in God’s infinite mercy.

Coming to Lourdes on pilgrimage during the Jubilee Year, is to set out on a journey. Despite life’s difficulties, we will journey with others, and especially with Mary and Bernadette, through sacramental and devotional gestures.

This will not only give us the opportunity to embrace Hope, but also to become its witnesses and missionaries. We will thus be Pilgrims of Hope with Mary, here in Lourdes, in this jubilee year of 2025.
