Lourdes Pilgrimage Online 17th – 22nd September

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, Britain and the Channel Islands. Almost 100 Assisted Pilgrims, who require a special level of care and comfort, accompany the other pilgrims and stay in the Accueil Notre Dame.
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.
A number of this years pilgrimage events were seen on Lourdes TV.
Below you can see the Oblate participation in the Blessed Sacrament procession on Tuesday 20th September. Bishop Field was accompanied by Fr. Vincent Mulligan OMI. The Gospel was read in English by Fr. Oliver Barry and members of the Oblate Youth Service served the liturgy.
