*2021 Pilgrimage Postponed***Virtual Pilgrimage to take place online**
Lourdes: Bringing us together
Our Lourdes pilgrimage will take place online from the 17-22 of September 2021. This year, as we did last year, we will participate virtually in all our Pilgrimage events, most of which will be broadcast from the "Irish Lourdes" - the replica Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at the Oblate Church in Inchicore, Dublin.
There will also be contributions and interactive events with members of our Oblate family from the different areas of our provice – Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and the island of Jersey. We invite you to participate from your own home – whereever you are. We hope you will have a prayerful, enjoyable and life-giving online pilgrimage.
So, save the dates! Our pilgrimage will begin on September 17 and close on September 21. We hope you take this time to join us as we allow Lourdes to bring us together, no matter where we are, even though we are separated at this time.
Please God, in 2022, we will be able to return to Lourdes once more and experience all Lourdes has to offer together and in person.
Kind regards,
The Oblate Lourdes Pilgrimage Team
About the Oblate Pilgrimage to 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, except for during the War years, and now during the Covid 19 pandemic. Every year, pilgrims join us from Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands. Some 100 Assisted Pilgrims, who require a special level of care and comfort, accompany the other pilgrims and stay in the Accueil Notre Dame. We are also accompanied by 100 members of the Oblate Youth Service.
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.
Lourdes is a place of healing, a place of hope and a place of encounter.
