Dear Fellow Pilgrim,
It is with regret and disappointment that we have no option but to postpone our 2020 Pilgrimage to Lourdes until 2021, due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
Government and health authorities, both in Ireland and France, have placed restrictions on the movement of people and have introduced physical distancing as a means of reducing the spread of the virus.
The pastoral theme and message of our pilgrimage this year are the very words that Mary spoke to Bernadette when she appeared to her on the sixteenth apparition on Thursday 25 March 1858;‘I am the Immaculate Conception.’

Send employees on pilgrimage or spiritual retreats say experts...
The message and theme for Lourdes this year is; ‘Blessed are the poor, the Kingdom of God is theirs.’The very word ‘poor’ can be very emotional and even loaded.
