The pilgrimage for OYS members will begin on the 15th September, when we travel from our homes to come together in Lourdes.  After a restful day acquainting new and welcoming back old members, we begin our work together in the evening of the 16th to meet our invalids/Guests and help them settle in.

The itinerary for the week is:

15 September – Morning flight from Dublin Airport to Bilbao.  Coach transfer to hotel in Lourdes. [UK members also arrive.]

16 September – Late breakfast and free day for group activities.  Evening meal in hotel.

17-22 September – Helping to care for our pilgrimage Guests in Lourdes.

23 September – Coach from Lourdes to Toulouse for flight to Dublin. [UK members also depart.]
