Join this 5-night pilgrimage to Lourdes with the Joe Walsh Tours team to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes on 11th February. On this day we commemorate the first apparition of Our Blessed Virgin Mary to 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous at the Grotto of Massabielle.
Our classic pilgrimage to Lourdes introduces pilgrims to this unique sanctuary, one of the most important Marian shrines in the world, located in a region of great beauty at the foot of the Pyrenees, in the South of France.
Enjoy a tour of the Grotto Domain in Lourdes, visiting the Grotto, Baths, Basilicas and the Stations of the Cross; as well as a guided walking tour of Lourdes visiting places associated with the life of Saint Bernadette. You will also take part in Lourdes’ striking religious processions, led by the Spiritual Director, including the Blessing of the Sick, Blessed Sacrament and the Torchlight Marian Procession.
As with all our pilgrimage group tours, you will be supported throughout the trip by the knowledgeable Joe Walsh Tours guides and local representatives led by Caroline and Fionnuala to make sure you have a memorable pilgrimage experience.
