The Oblate Pilgrimage to Lourdes

The Oblate Pilgrimage to Lourdes 2026 will take place from 13th to 18/19th September. Did you know the Oblate Pilgrimage to Lourdes has been taking place since 1883?

The Missionary Oblates were the first group to organise pilgrimages to Lourdes from Britain and Ireland and have been organising pilgrimages to Lourdes since 1883. Every year pilgrims join in from Ireland, Britain and the Channel Islands. Some 100 Assisted Pilgrims, who require a special level of care and comfort, accompany the other pilgrims and stay in the Accueil Notre Dame.

A detailed religious programme is organized by Joe Walsh Tours in conjunction with the Oblate Pilgrimage, so pilgrims can have a very special time at the Sanctuary. See available departures below.
