Parish Pilgrimage to Lourdes 2025
St. Mary’s and St. Patrick’s
On the 11th May a group of parishioners plus people from other parts of Ireland (50 in total) set off for Lourdes. Some returning after a number of years and others for the first time. We were met at the airport by Kieran (our excellent guide from Myriam Tours). A very mixed group but we quickly gelled.
We had Mass each day celebrated by Fr Philip and Fr Samuel. We remembered all our parishioners at each Mass and at the Stations of the Cross. We took part in the International Mass, Blessed Sacrament Procession and the beautiful torch light procession. You have to see and take part to really appreciate it.
Our hotel was lovely and very close to the sanctuary which was really handy. The weather was pleasant with a few showers, making it very comfortable to get around.
We had a fantastic few days and returned home via Bilbao. On route we had Mass in St Vincent’s Church in San Sebastian, which was a beautiful city with magnificent buildings and churches.

On a sad note, on the last night Fr Philip announced he was moving on to Celbridge in July. To say we were shocked was an understatement. But we wish him well and thank him for his spiritual guidance and friendship on this pilgrimage and since he arrived in Lucan, eleven years ago.
St Mary’s, Lucan
