Pilgrimage to Lourdes 2023

In June we traveled to Lourdes in France for a week. We travelled as youth helpers with the Cloyne Diocese. 

Throughout the week we got to know other students and pilgrims on the trip. Our duty was to assist pilgrims of Cloyne in attending masses and to help them go about their day in Lourdes.

 This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we would recommend to any young person looking to experience something new. We found it extremely rewarding and made friends that we will keep in touch with. We loved our pilgrimage and felt honoured to be representing our parish, community, and school.
