Pilgrimages

The Director of Pilgrimages is primarily involved in the organisation of the annual pilgrimage to Lourdes. The annual diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes is held every summer. Parish groups, individuals and anyone with a desire to be part of this faith journey is welcome to partake. An annual collection in the parishes of the diocese is used to assist needy people with travel expenses and subsidises the expenses of required medical and professional help for the sick.
