Seeking info on Lourdes pilgrimage

[Aydan]

I live in the USA and I would like to go on the special pilgrimage to Lourdes that is for the sick and disabled people but I don’t know where to start or who to contact. I would like to know the approximate cost and if there is any special funding if I cannot afford to go. I would like to go in 2019 if possible.
I would appreciate any information anyone can provide.
Thank you and God bless!

Contact your parish office. They should be able to advise you or direct you to someone who can. God bless.

I know the Order of Malta does several service pilgrimages where they go help with ill people on pilgrimage, but I don’t know if their pilgrimages are internal-for-them, or if they coordinate for the actual ill people who want to visit the baths.

They do, however, have a very nice brochure about the process of the baths.

In the next section, At the Baths, we will describe what to
expect when you enter the Baths. However, often people
are so focused on the logistics—changing, stepping into
the bath, turning to face the statue of the Blessed Mother—
that they rush through or even miss the sacred moments
central to the visit. We’d like to help you understand what
to expect so that you may be able to set aside those
concerns, savor the moment and fully experience the
spirituality of the Baths.

Love Lourdes. Changed my family’s lives.

I have a brochure somewhere. I will try to find it and get back to you here.
