Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes
Many of you will be aware of the recent devastating floods experienced in the southern region of France, and in particular in the Lourdes area.
While the damage caused by the flood waters was indeed quite extensive in the Domain itself and in the Grotto area, work commenced immediately and this enormous effort resulted in only the Limerick Diocesan Pilgrimage being forced to cancel. All subsequent pilgrimages have and are travelling as normal including our own Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage which takes place from 7th -12th September next.
I would ask you to make a special effort to promote the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes in your church and indeed if there are any sick people in your parish who wish to travel on the Special Section for the Sick, in particular those who have never travelled to Lourdes before, then please refer them to us at the Pilgrimage Office on (01) 8376820 where application forms are available.
Fr. Martin Noone,
Pilgrimage Director
