The forthcoming visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United Kingdom in September has prompted a lot of attention from the news, not least from the ITN Tonight team who contacted the pilgrimage office just before we departed for Lourdes this year.
The Tonight programme is presented by Julie Etchingham, herself a Catholic, and for whom the Pope’s arrival in the UK is an important moment both personally and professionally as she will be called upon to cover the Papal visit for ITN.
The Tonight team asked if it was possible for them to follow and interview a group of young people taking part in the annual Diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes to ask them about their experiences of the Church at this time.
Young volunteers are an integral and vibrant part of the pilgrimage and many travel year on year to help and assist sick and elderly pilgrims travel to Lourdes and take part in the various Masses, processions and celebrations which are an central part of a pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady in Lourdes.
The Pope’s visit will take place between the 16th and 19th September 2010 and the programme will be broadcast on the night of his arrival in the UK.
