Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes
This site is a description of the pilgrimage to Lourdes, France by
people from Dublin every 7th - 12th September. It's written &
maintained by me, Jim Gallagher , and it
specifically describes the Volunteer helpers who travel, many of
whom travel year after year, giving up their time and money to help
those less fortunate - and having a great time into the bargain!
I've been travelling with the pilgrimage for nearly 20 years now,
and I'm going to try and explain exactly what we do, and why we do
it.

views held by the Dublin Diocese, the Dublin Pilgrimage to Lourdes
or the Lourdes Sanctuaries Organisation. It is a personal

NOTE:
This is a site about the Dublin Pilgrimage, and specifically the
people who work with that group. It is not a general site about
Lourdes, and when the words "we" or "us" are
used, they mean the volunteers of the pilgrimage as a group. I've
tried to get across the amount of fun that we have when we go to
Lourdes, but this is difficult. In this case, experiencing it is the
only true way to see what I mean!
This site is loosely broken up into the W's - Who, Where &
What - follow the links above to read & learn more.
Above is an aerial view of the Domain - the spiritual area in
Lourdes. The large building on the right is the Accueil Notre Dame,
or Hospital. This is where our Sick pilgrims stay whilst in
Lourdes,and is the centre of our Pilgrimage. Go to the section on
The Hospitals to read a little about our experiences there, and how
things have changed over the years.

travel agent though!
