Prices and booking forms
Final travel costs for this year’s pilgrimage are not yet available; at present are unable to finalise and publish prices. We expect this information will be available in early February. At this stage we hope that prices will be broadly in line with those of 2011. If you would like to receive information on the 2012 pilgrimage as soon as it becomes available please email lourdes.pilgrimage@dioceseofsalford.org.uk.

2012 Pilgrimage Calendar – NOW AVAILABLE

New for 2012, the Diocesan Pilgrimage have prepared a photographic calendar made up of pictures from the 2011 pilgrimage to Lourdes. The calendar is published to help raise funds for the Diocesan Pilgrimage and proceeds will be used to establish a new bursary fund to assist volunteer nurses and health care assistants with the cost of travel to Lourdes. Without qualified nurses who use their professional skills and abilities, our sick pilgrims would not be able to travel to Lourdes.

Calendars are priced at £10.00 and are available from Cathedral Centre Books or by mail order from the pilgrimage office. If you would like to order a calendar by post please email lourdes.pilgrimage@dioceseofsalford.org.uk with your name, address and quantity. Alternatively, you can send a cheque with your return address and quantity, made payable to SALFORD LOURDES PILGRIMAGE FUND to the Lourdes Pilgrimage Office, Cathedral Centre, 3 Ford Street, Salford, M3 6DP. (Please note, postage and packaging may be applicable for large orders).
