More than 800 people travelled to Lourdes this year on the annual pilgrimage, led by His Grace, Archbishop Bernard Longley.

The pilgrimage left on Saturday 26 May and returned on Saturday 1 June. Its theme this year was ‘Do whatever He tells you’.

As ever, the pilgrimage was a wonderful experience and opportunity for pilgrims to heal in the presence of Mary, to help others and provide comfort.

“The message was entrusted to a young girl, and that’s why you, our young people are so important in sharing the message of faith” Thank you Archbishop Bernard for sharing this powerful message with the young people of the diocese this evening in Lourdes. #Brum2Lourdes #Lourdes pic.twitter.com/J2z2wwhTfA
