Lourdes

The annual Diocesan Lourdes Youth Pilgrimage takes place every summer.  

This year’s Pilgrimage takes place from 18th to 24th June 2026. 85 young people will travel to Lourdes with Bishop Brendan and the Diocesan Pilgrimage.
 
The pilgrimage focuses on creating a safe and welcoming environment for young people to experience what it is like to be on pilgrimage. It is envisaged that young people will form their own community and friends and in doing so build relationships that will last for years to come.
 
It is hoped that reflection, personal development and faith exploration will provide a really positive experience in a supportive atmosphere.
