Are you aged 18-30 and interested in serving others while deepening your faith?
The Diocese of Cork and Ross invites young adults to consider travelling to Lourdes as a Young Adult Helper from the 18th-23rd September 2026.
Young Adult Helpers play an important role in the pilgrimage, supporting pilgrims who need assistance, both in the hospital and by accompanying them to liturgies and other pilgrimage events. They also help with various aspects of the pilgrimage, including supporting and helping to animate the liturgies.
For the young adults themselves, the pilgrimage can be a very meaningful experience in their faith and life journey, with opportunities for formation, prayer, and reflection included as part of the pilgrimage.
To learn more, come along to our Information Evening on
Thursday 20 March

This evening will give you a chance to hear more about what the pilgrimage involves, what it’s like to be a Young Adult Helper, and how you can get involved.
