St Bede’s have a long and proud tradition of supporting the Salford Diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes. Our students give up part of their summer holidays to join medical staff and clergy to support sick and elderly members of the community, enabling them to make the journey to Lourdes and bathe in the healing waters.

Once again we have a fantastic group of students who are looking to join the pilgrimage this year. As it’s such an amazing and valuable experience spiritually, emotionally and socially we want to ensure that as many students as possible are able to participate. However, the financial cost to the students for volunteering is significant, and to reduce the burden we are fundraising to try and make it as affordable as possible.

All monies raised will go towards reducing the cost of the pilgrimage for the students and we are immensely grateful for your support. There are fundraising events taking place in school and we have created a GoFundMe page which you can donate to using the link attached.
