Sadly for the second year Pilgrims cannot travel to Lourdes for the annual Diocesan Pilgrimage, but in an effort to unite our prayers for all those in any suffering or woe, the Pilgrimage will take place via the internet from 7^th May – 12^th May, and it gives us all an opportunity to give some praise and worship to Our Blessed Mother during this her month of May.  Devotions will be celebrate every Sunday evening of May at 6.00pm in Holy Family Church and the rosary will continue to be prayed nightly at 8.00pm at the Grotto in Brackaville.  Please do join in with some of our Marian devotions this year as we all remember and praise our greatest friend in Heaven.

All Pilgrimage services can be joined in with online at Facebook page: Armagh Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes.
