In September and October of this year, the relics of St Bernadette will journey on pilgrimage to England, Scotland and Wales for the very first time. This very special, once in a lifetime event, will provide an opportunity for our children and families to learn more about the apparitions of Our blessed Mother Mary to Saint Bernadette at Lourdes in France and to learn about the miraculous healings that have taken place there ever since.
This pilgrimage will allow us the opportunity to experience the wonderful gifts and graces of Lourdes in our very own diocese on the following dates:
To ensure the comfort and safety of pilgrims, visitors are asked to register their attendance choosing a dedicated timeslot at the church or cathedral of their choice. You can register your free place by visiting the Relic Tour website here >>
You can access resources for young people here >>
Our Youth Adviser Lizzie is organising a BeLoved Youth Event for young people aged 14-17 at Worth on Sunday 23 October 2.20pm - 8.30pm. Lizzie says:
"Come to Worth Abbey to visit the relics of St Bernadette and enjoy a Lourdes Redshirt experience at home! We have a great day planned, full of all the sorts of things that people love about going to Lourdes, including worship, ministry, games and of course plenty of time to get to know other young Catholics your age. We look forward to welcoming you to this once in a life time opportunity."
