Mini Mission 3: Pilgrimage

Candle lit procession at Lourdes
The youth team from Castlerigg prepare and accompany young people from across the diocese who give up their time to go on pilgrimage to Lourdes.  This can be a life changing experience and is one which brings all who travel into contact with the wider Church community.  

Our Lady of Lourdes has a special significance for our Diocese, because she is one of our patron saints. 

For details about the Lourdes pilgrimage check out the Castlerigg website.  And for more photos of the Lourdes pilgrimage to see what else they do please see their photo album.

New readers to the blog may want to revisit and earlier posting 11th February, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes showing the Diocesan Banner that is taken to Lourdes.
