Lourdes Pilgrimage Fund (This Week’s Retiring Collection)
The Diocese takes around 700 people each year to Lourdes of whom 130 are assisted Pilgrims who are frail, elderly, disabled or sick and last year 150 young people aged between 15-29. The Diocesan Pilgrimage has enabled so many to encounter God’s love and healing, not just the physical healing of miracles that have famously taken place but spiritual, emotional and psychological healing. The Pilgrimage relies on generous donations to offer financial support to the many assisted Pilgrims, for those who care for them and to subsidise the price for young people to answer the Annunciation invitation which is hoped will deepen their relationship with God and to share their experiences.
If you are planning to travel to Lourdes to help an assisted pilgrim or considering doing so then further information about bursaries can be found at www.catenianbursary.com
