The diocese is blessed to be taking an official "under-16s" group with the annual pilgrimage to Lourdes for the first time. Eight young people will have their own catechesis and time together, led by Lorraine Leonard and Andrea Fitton, with Fr John Flynn as chaplain.

The group will be very much part of the wider pilgrimage, taking part in all the liturgies, visits and processions, yet they have their own identity as a group. 

Please pray for this new group, and for all those travelling to Lourdes on the 80th annual pilgrimage.
