Planning has been underway since May and there are many highlights to share regarding the 2025 Lourdes Pilgrimage…
The registration email was sent to everyone in the Association on Tuesday, November 5th. This is earlier than usual as many have been inquiring when and how to register, and to say there is a ton of excitement for the upcoming Pilgrimage would be an understatement.
His Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, will be with us on this Pilgrimage. He will have just celebrated his 50th anniversary of priesthood, so there will be many toasts and celebration in his honor when we are together.
The plan is to leave out of JFK this year. Norse Atlantic Airways will fly us to and from Lourdes in a beautiful Dreamliner plane that will comfortably fit approximately 320 of us.
Pilgrim costs flying on the charter are $3,900, a 2.5% savings versus 2024. There are options for commercial travel as well for those that cannot join us on the charter for some reason.
We want (and need!) our Auxiliary to join us in this pilgrimage. To help spur this, Auxiliary can travel with us for only $1,500. Make sure to invite your Area’s Auxiliary, your kids and grandkids.
Please make sure to register today, and please extend a warm invitation to your friends and family who are interested in joining us as malades. One of the many miracles of Lourdes is being with our malades and sharing the joy of this spiritual journey.
If you have any questions or would like to chat about the Lourdes pilgrimage in general, please look for us at the Investiture or feel free to email or call us anytime. Additionally, if you bump into or speak to Carla or anyone in our office, please extend them a thank you for all the hard work they do to make the pilgrimage a huge success.
Our Lady of Lourdes! Pray for us!
