We are travelling to Lourdes in 2023 – Come & Join us!
Lourdes pastoral theme 2023 - ‘…that a chapel be built here…’
Dear Pilgrim,
We are looking forward to returning to Lourdes this summer!
We expect, like us, many feel a sense of eagerness and excitement, as well as caution, as we make our return and come together as a pilgrimage community at the Grotto once more.
In this special and unique place of pilgrimage, we seek the intercession, strength and grace of Our Blessed Lady in our lives.
For 2023, we will be travelling together on chartered private coach from Wales to London Heathrow Airport for our flight. All transfers and travel are included in the package and we will be staying in the Helgon hotel.
With every prayer and best wish,
The Pilgrimage Organising Team
