The Relics Pilgrimage of St Bernadette offers a spiritually enriching opportunity for people across our community of faith to gather together in prayer at Churches and Cathedrals across Ireland. Travelling on pilgrimage to Lourdes and visiting the Grotto where Our Lady appeared to Bernadette, provides an important, spiritually enriching opportunity to continue this journey.
The life and legacy of St Bernadette has touched the lives of people across the world. 164 years after the first pilgrimages to this special place began, Lourdes is one of the busiest Christian pilgrimage sites in the world, with the Catholic Church acknowledging 70 miracles as having taken place there. The dioceses and groups listed below offer an opportunity to be part of the Lourdes pilgrimage experience, journeying in faith with pilgrims of all ages and backgrounds from across Ireland.
