Each year the Cork and Ross Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes includes a group of young adults aged 18–30 who travel as helpers. Their main role is to assist our assisted pilgrims (our VIPs), both in the hospital and by accompanying them to liturgies and other pilgrimage activities. They also contribute to the life of the pilgrimage by serving and helping to animate the liturgies.
For the young adults themselves, it can also be a very significant experience in their faith and life journey, and we provide opportunities for formation, prayer and reflection as part of the pilgrimage.
The assisted pilgrims greatly value the care, companionship and energy that the young adults bring, while the young adults themselves often find the experience deeply rewarding and enriching.
The cost of the pilgrimage for these young adult helpers is subsidised by the diocese, and, in some cases, parishes have also nominated and supported young people to travel. You may know someone in your parish or community who might benefit from this wonderful opportunity. If someone comes to mind, I would be very grateful if you might mention this opportunity to them.
An Information Evening will take place in Mardyke House, Cork (T12 W8RP) on Thursday, 19th March at 7.30pm. This meeting will provide details about the pilgrimage and the role of Young Adult Helpers, who assist pilgrims in need while sharing in the unique spirituality of Lourdes.

This Mass will be held in honour of Venerable Nano Nagle's founding of the Presentation Sisters, 250 years ago.
All parishioners are most welcome on the day.
Please note that will be no 10.00am Mass in South Parish on March 6th.
The practice includes the wearing of ashes on the head. The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us. As the priest applies the ashes to a person's forehead, he speaks the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Alternatively, the priest may speak the words, "Repent and believe in the Gospel." Ashes also symbolize grief, in this case, grief that we have sinned and caused division from God. Writings from the Second-century Church refer to the wearing of ashes as a sign of penance.
Priests administer ashes during Mass and all are invited to accept the ashes as a visible symbol of penance. The ashes are made from blessed palm branches, taken from the previous year's Palm Sunday Mass.
