This year will mark 100 years since the archdiocese’s first pilgrimage to Lourdes.

To mark this special occasion, we would love people to share their memories of Lourdes and any photographs or video clips you may have taken on any trips there over the years. We will collate these memories and use them on the archdiocesan website, social media channels and the Pic.

It could be that generations of your family have travelled to Lourdes, that you met your spouse there, you could have photos from decades ago or even that a member of your family went on our very first pilgrimage in 1923.

If you have anything you are happy for us to share publicly or if you would even like to record a video message for us, then please email any details to communications@rcaol.org.uk and lourdespilgrimage@rcaol.org.uk and  include your name, parish and year(s) you travelled to Lourdes.

We cannot guarantee that we will use them all depending on the volume of information we receive, but we will read and respond to all correspondence.

We look forward to hearing from you.
