Nurses required – our Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes travels 26th July-1st August and because of the increasing number of sick wishing to join the pilgrimage we are urgently in need of more qualified nurses to ensure we can provide the care necessary for them to travel.

We would also ask you to keep all this year’s pilgrims in your prayers over the coming weeks, as we prepare for another grace-filled pilgrimage for many members of our diocese.
