My Pilgrimage to Lourdes

Hi everyone my name is Nancy Connolly and I'm 15 years old from Chesterfield in Derbyshire.

Next June I will be making the pilgrimage to Lourdes with my School, St Mary's Catholic High School and Hallam Youth and it would be amazing if you could help and support me to get to Lourdes next Summer. Your kind donation would help me with my travel and accommodation and give me the opportunity to help the sick and elderly

My trip will involve meeting new people and working as part of a team in order to provide practical service to the sick and the elderly and to consider their own values and spirituality.

Some come on pilgrimage in search of strength and guidance in times of difficulty or distress. For many sick pilgrims Lourdes gives an opportunity to bathe in the healing waters of the spring and to find peace with their prognosis rather than to seek a miraculous cure.

Lourdes is a wonderful place to restore your faith in humanity when witnessing the thousands of people who come to give their time willingly to help those in need.

Thank you. Nancy.
