Salford Diocesan Lourdes Pilgrimage
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
POPE FRANCIS
Rest in peace
Our pilgrimage family joins the church around the world in sadness and in prayer for the repose of the soul of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. May Our Lady of Lourdes accompany him to his heavenly home.
"Christ is risen! These words capture the entire meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life."
- Pope Francis. Easter Sunday 2025.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
