Pray with us:

Send in your prayer intentions. In 1883, the first Oblate pilgrims carried with them the prayers and petitions of many people who were unable to physically make the journey. Writing a prayer petition to Our Lady of Lourdes is a way for all people to share in the gift of Lourdes. Simply write from the heart your request and address it to Our Lady and end it with an affirmation of your faith.
If you would like us to bring your prayer petitions with us in September please send them to us and we will place at the Grotto on your behalf. Petitions can be sent to: Pilgrimage Office, House of Retreat, Tyrconnell Road, Inchicore, Dublin 8 or by email to lourdes@oblates.ie

Why Lourdes?

LOURDES for many is a place of encounter, healing and peace. Every pilgrim finds something different and everyone returns home with their own story about their visit to Lourdes.

The grotto is more than just a place where something extra-ordinary happened; more importantly it is the place where God comes to meet us, heart to heart. Lourdes is place where we hear a message that we are loved, healed and forgiven. In coming to Lourdes, we follow in the footsteps of many thousands of pilgrims from all over the world who have come here before us, carrying with them – as we do – their hopes, burdens and dreams.

Assisted Pilgrims

Our Assisted Pilgrims are those who require a special level of care and they stay in the Accueil Notre Dame. Designed in the form of open arms the Accueil Notre Dame reminds us that, in Lourdes, everyone is welcome and cared for.

During the pilgrimage the Accueil is staffed by a committed medical team and other volunteers who work together to help our assisted pilgrims to fully take part in all aspects of the pilgrimage.

The Oblates and Lourdes

The Missionary Oblates were the first group to organise pilgrimages to Lourdes from Britain and Ireland and have been organising pilgrimages to Lourdes since 1883. Every year pilgrims join us from Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, and the Channel Islands. This year, for Lourdes 2024, the Jersey Group celebrate a very special anniversary of their pilgrimage – 50 years!

Saint Bernadette

About Lourdes

In 1858, a young girl from a small rural village in the foothills of the Pyrenées Mountains witnessed something amazing – while gathering firewood near the local rubbsh heap, Bernadette Soubirous saw a vision of Mary, Mother of God at the Grotto (Cave) of Massabielle.
Between February 11 and July 16, 1858, Bernadette spoke with Mary eighteen times.
Mary asked that the people come in procession to pray and to bathe in the waters of Lourdes – now every year, millions of pilgrims from all around the world visit Lourdes.

The Story of Lourdes >

The pilgrimage will include:

  • Mass at the Grotto/Grotto tour
  • Torchlight Procession
  • Blessed Sacrament Procession
  • Stations of the Cross
  • Visit to the baths
  • Mass of Anointing of the Sick
  • Sacrament of Reconciliation

As a pilgrimage, we will also have daily Mass, and plenty of opportunity for relaxing, renewing old friendships and shopping. There will also be plenty of time to make your own pilgrimage – whether you want to light a candle, spend some quiet time in prayer at the Grotto, or walk in the footsteps of the child Bernadette.

In coming to Lourdes, we follow in the footsteps of many thousands of pilgrims from all over the world who have come here before us, carrying with them – as we do – their hopes, burdens and dreams.
