Young Adult Hepers (18+)

The Young Adult Team on the Nottingham Diocesan Lourdes Pilgrimage is a new offering from the diocese. Open to those aged 18-35, this offers a unique opportunity to serve the main pilgrimage, deepen faith, and build lasting friendships.

Young adults will take on a variety of roles, including carrying banners in processions, supporting music ministry, serving at Mass, and assisting with wheelchair maintenance and support. We will also help with catechesis sessions, airport transfers, and hotel support to ensure the smooth running of the pilgrimage. We will also be involved with any evening and free time activities. Finally, there will be opportunities for spiritual formation, including talks and reflections to deepen the pilgrimage experience.

Contact Charles Archer (Young Adult Ministry Lead) charles.archer@dioceseofnottingham.uk for more information!

Lourdes From Home

Last year our "Lourdes From Home" initiative allowed hundreds of viewers to join the Lourdes Pilgrimage via live-stream and email updates, sharing photographs and good news from across the water. This year it's back, with more opportunities to engage.

Registrants have the option to receive a physical 'Pilgrim Pack' posted to one's own home, complete with:

• Pilgrimage Booklet
• A physical candle lit for them in Lourdes
• A Zoom link for a live group call with Bishop Patrick
• Their intentions taken to the Grotto
• Daily updates via e-mail
• Other goodies to enhance their Lourdes From Home experience
