Sixth formers Lucy, Cara and Julia spoke in KS4 assemblies this week about their experiences on the Archdiocesan Youth Pilgrimage to Lourdes in the Summer. The assembly theme was 'Putting faith into action', so was a perfect opportunity for the girls to explain how they had been able to do this by supporting those pilgrims who were sick or immobile throughout their week in Lourdes.

Lucy spoke about how as a non-Catholic she had found the services moving and uplifting and Cara commented how she had been able to reconnect with her faith and it had been a great way to make new friends and develop bonds with the pilgrims. All three are planning on going again next year through extensive fundraising to cover costs.

The applications for Lourdes 2025 open on 7^th October. The pilgrimage will be 23 July - 1 August 2025 and it is open to anyone Y10 and above.  Apply at liverpoollourdesyouth.co.uk
