As part of the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes, Clogher don Óige has given young people (aged 16-18) from parishes across the diocese the unique opportunity to journey to a place of great healing and prayer. As a group the young people who travel with Clogher don Óige support the less able members of the Diocesan Pilgrimage, enabling them to take part in the large gatherings, liturgies, prayer services and Masses. Due to high levels of interest, we begin the recruitment process by asking interested young people to submit an ‘Expression of Interest’ form - this in an online form and can be completed below.
Submitting this form indicates that you are aware of the commitment needed: there is an expectation that you will attend preparation meetings with other pilgrims; Mass of Sending etc. if you are selected for a place on this pilgrimage. Clogher don Óige takes preparation time seriously, and failure to commit to this could result in forfeiting your place on this pilgrimage.
Dates of Preparation Meetings and other Lourdes Pilgrimage events are: Full Group Meetings - Saturday 20th April & Saturday 29th June
Meetings for Monaghan Area Pilgrims: Tuesday 21st May 7.00-8.30pm
Meetings for Fermanagh Area Pilgrims: Wednesday 22nd May 7.00-8.30pm
Summer Pilgrimage Reunion Day - Saturday 12th October
