Welcome!
Welcome to the website for the Salford Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes. I hope that it will be a valuable resource in finding out more about our Pilgrimage community, the Sanctuary of Lourdes and the Apparitions of Our Lady to Bernadette that took place there in 1858. I invite you to consider whether you might like to take part in our next pilgrimage to Lourdes, either as a pilgrim or as one of our volunteer team. Everyone is welcome to join us.
With my prayers and best wishes
+John
Right Reverend John Arnold, Bishop of Salford

PILGRIMAGE THEME 2024
The pastoral theme for all pilgrimages to Lourdes is set by the
Bishop of Lourdes and covers pilgrimages in 2022, 2023 & 2024.
The theme for 2024 is:
"Go and tell the priests to build a chapel here
and to come here in procession."

THE LOURDES PILGRIMAGE & THE IMPACT ON PILGRIM QUALITY OF LIFE
A wonderful research paper which took 11 years to research, written by our Medical Director, Dr Jenny Klimiuk and former Medical Director Dr Kieren Moriarty. Published last month in the Journal of Religion and Health, the study looks at the impact of pilgrimage to Lourdes on the quality of life of 'sick' pilgrims. Congratulations to Dr Jenny and Dr Kieran for this wonderful paper! To download and read, please click the button below.
