**Virtual Pilgrimage to take place online**

Lourdes: Bringing us together

Our Lourdes pilgrimage will take place online from the 17-21 of September 2021. This year, as we did last year, we will participate virtually in all our Pilgrimage events, most of which will be broadcast from the "Irish Lourdes" - the replica Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes at the Oblate Church in Inchicore, Dublin.

We will have contributions and interactive events with members of our Oblate pilgrimage family from the different areas of our province - Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and the island of Jersey, and we invite you to participate from your home wherever you are. We hope you will have a prayerful, enjoyable, and life-giving pilgrimage with us online this year.

So, save the dates! Our pilgrimage will begin on September 17 and close on September 21. We hope you take this time to join us as we allow Lourdes to bring us together, no matter where we are, even though we are separated at this time.

We would greatly appreciate any contribtution you may like to make to help us cover the cost of holding this online and virtual pilgrimage.

Please God, in 2022, we will be able to return to Lourdes once more and experience all Lourdes has to offer together and in person.

Kind regards,

The Oblate Lourdes Pilgrimage Team
