Today marks the beginning of our Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes, as over 450 pilgrims from across the Diocese of Cork and Ross have travelled to come together in prayer, hope, and joy.

With hearts full of faith and trust, we begin this pilgrimage carrying the prayers and intentions of our families, parishes, Families of Parishes, and communities at home.

We warmly invite you to join us each day in spirit and prayer as we journey on this very special pilgrimage.

You can keep up to date with the Cork and Ross pilgrimage over the coming days through the Lourdes livestream.
