'Why Lourdes?'
It's a family affair as three sisters from the same family took on the role of hospitaliers/helpers last year (they have in fact been assisting in Lourdes for decades!). The trio were part of a family party of 12 in Lourdes in 2023 and definitely have the 'Lourdes bug'!
Meet Geraldine, Pauline and Elizabeth who are drawn to Lourdes each year due to their devotion to Our Lady.
Doctors, nurses and carers volunteer their time - along with young people from across our schools - to look after the assisted pilgrims (those who may require support with their personal or medical care or transit around during the pilgrimage) attending Lourdes.
For many of our volunteers it is a life-changing experience which they repeat year-after-year.
