A Pilgrimage to LOURDES
Ampleforth’s Pilgrimage to Lourdes • For many years, the monks, teachers, recent graduates
and students of Ampleforth School have gone on pilgrimage to Lourdes, France
• Another sister school, Portsmouth Abbey School, joined this pilgrimage in recent years
• Teachers from both schools have enthusias@cally noted that this pilgrimage has been a “life-‐changing” experience for many of those who have par@cipated in it
This pilgrimage offers a privileged opportunity • to serve Christ in the sick who go to Lourdes, • to grow in one’s apprecia@on of God’s
graces, • to deepen one’s friendships, and • to see some beau@ful places, namely Madrid, Avila, Segovia, Toledo, Pamplona, and Lourdes.
