SUMMARY:Archdiocesan Lourdes Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:The annual Archdiocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes takes place from Friday 10 – Friday 17 July 2026. \nThe pilgrimage is led by Archbishop Leo Cushley and is being organised with Tangney Tours. \nPilgrims come from all parts of the Archdiocese and include assisted pilgrims -those who are ill\, elderly or frail\, who are supported by our own team of willing volunteers\, including doctors\, nurses and other allied health professionals. \nFull details are at www.edinburgh-lourdes.com/lourdes-2026. \nAbout the Pilgrimage \nTangney Tours say: “During our pilgrimage\, there will be a lot to see and experience. Our pilgrimage and tour of Lourdes includes visits to the Basilica of the Rosary and the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. We take part in the Masses\, the Stations of the Cross and the blessing of the sick\, visit the Grotto of Massabeille where the apparitions of Our Lady took place. \nYou will have the chance to drink from the spring at the base of the Grotto. The original spring that Bernadette located is still visible\, protected by a glass cover and illuminated. Visit the baths where hundreds of miraculous healings have taken place. \nWe participate in the evening torchlight processions which is a wonderful experience. Our Lady requested that these processions take place when She appeared to Bernadette. We will also offer a walking tour to the Boly Mill\, where Bernadette was born\, and to the Cachot\, an abandoned prison where Bernadette’s family lived. \nWe will see the hospice where Bernadette attended school and made her First Holy Communion. After the apparitions she also lived here until the age of twenty two\, when she went to Nevers to join the Sisters of Charity of Nevers.
