Helping in Lourdes - 25th Westminster Diocesan Pilgrimage, 20-26 July
The Westminster Diocese are looking for volunteers to help on this year’s Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes. Each year, the diocese takes a group of sick and disabled ‘malades’ to stay in the ‘Accueil St Frai’, a sort of empty hospital which will be filled with a team of nurses, doctors and volunteer helpers. Duties include helping to get the malades up, give them their meals and helping them to make their pilgrimage through the events, both spiritual and social. The pilgrimage can make a very positive difference to their lives, as well as giving their main carers a much-needed rest. Most volunteers find it a rewarding and enormously moving experience. The diocese hopes to be able to take 40 malades to Lourdes this year. If you are interested in finding out more about volunteering with the Westminster Pilgrimage, please contact the chief helper, Nick Leonard, at nickleonard507 (at) gmail.com
