Salford Diocesan Lourdes Pilgrimage
Welcome to a special Lourdes at Home
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes will have the joy and honour of welcoming His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on Sunday, September 27, 2026. As part of his apostolic journey to France, he will become a pilgrim among pilgrims. A couple of members of our coordination team are travelling out to Lourdes for the visit and we hope to share photos that they send back to us. You can follow the Pope's visit via the link to Lourdes TV below.
"This visit is, first and foremost, a visit by the Successor of Peter to strengthen his brothers in the faith and to address our society as a whole."
Mgr. Jean-Marc Micas, Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes
Please note that all times given on the programme are local time for France.
To follow from home please take one hour off the given times as we are one hour behind France.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
Saint Bernadette, pray for us.
Stay with us, Lord, on our journey.
