Assist in coordinating pilgrimages to Lourdes

Offer your parishioners the life-changing opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Lourdes - as individuals, as families, or as a parish group. Pilgrimage brings your community directly into the heart of grace at the Grotto, with time for prayer, the healing baths, Eucharistic processions, and service to the sick.

Here’s how to begin:

• Send 1–3 representatives from your parish on a “first experience” pilgrimage with the Hospitalité de Miami or another established group.
• Appoint a parish coordinator to lead the effort.
• Begin planning a pilgrimage 12–18 months out, with information sessions, fundraising, and formation.
• The Sanctuary and Hospitalité can provide sample itineraries, contacts, and planning materials.

Pilgrims often return spiritually renewed and become powerful evangelizers in their own communities.
