March 20, 2026

20th – 24th July 2026 

The annual Welsh National Pilgrimage to Lourdes will take place this year from Monday 20th – Friday 24th July.


Led by Archbishop Mark O’Toole, the pilgrimage is organised by the dedicated Pilgrimage Team in partnership with Tangney Tours. Lourdes is a special and grace‑filled place of prayer, and together we will seek the intercession, strength, and gentle care of Our Blessed Lady.


The pilgrimage package includes:

  • A full religious programme
  • Return flights
  • 4‑star, full‑board accommodation


Whether you are a returning pilgrim or considering Lourdes for the first time, you are warmly encouraged to join us on this journey of faith, healing, and community.

We have received the following statement from Archbishop Mark , shared after the recent meeting of the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales in Rome. In solidarity with the Holy Father, the Bishops invite all people of goodwill to renew their commitment to peace and justice, and they ask Catholics in particular to redouble their prayers for those affected by conflict across the world. Rooted in the hope of Easter, this message reminds us of our shared Christian responsibility to be peacemakers and bridge‑builders. We are encouraged to read the statement prayerfully and to join with the Bishops and the wider Church in praying for an enduring peace founded on justice, dialogue and fraternity.  The full statement and the Prayer for Peace of Pope St John XXIII are shared below.

On the third anniversary of the war in Sudan, Kayode Akintola, CAFOD’s Head of Region for Africa, asks for your help: “So many of our sisters and brothers in Sudan are facing increasing violence, hunger, and disease. That is why today, I’m asking you to consider setting up a regular gift to support families who are fleeing the violence – with food, safe water and other vital support. Monthly gifts are an act of steady love for our neighbours, a way of saying: we will not abandon you, we will stand with you until peace is restored.”  Donate at cafod.org.uk/StandWithSudan
