#CALourdes125

 

2026 is our 125th birthday in going to Lourdes. Please join from 21 to 28 August 2026, either by coming yourself (and family?) , and/or by helping another who might benefit from a week in Lourdes , and/or by contributing to our fundraising initiative, #CALourdes125 fund and by praying for us and for all those who take the long journey in pilgrimage to Lourdes.

In whichever way, we would love you to be fellow pilgrims in our 125th birthday pilgrimage. Our Lady of Lourdes’ invitation is to all, whatever their health, whatever their wealth. The Catholic Association has for 125 years facilitated pilgrims to accept that invitation. Long may that continue.

- Christopher Page, Chair of Trustees

Can you help us to raise £125,000?

We want the CA Pilgrimage to be here in 2035 and beyond - but we need your support to help us to achieve that. If five hundred friends of the CA gave £5 a month we would raise an incredible £30,000 a year (and more with Gift Aid). This would have a transformational effect for our work.

The easiest way to give to #CALourdes125 is to donate online below.

If you are a UK taxpayer, 25% can be added to the value of your gift at no extra cost to you through Gift Aid. If you haven’t filled in a Gift Aid form, please let us know and we will send this to you.

As ever, benefactors to the fund are remembered by the CA in our prayers and on pilgrimage. Benefactors (unless you have asked for anonymity) and those you have asked us to remember, will also be included on a special prayer board during the 2026 Pilgrimage.

Your generous donation will make a real difference to the work of the CA Pilgrimage. THANK YOU.
