Birmingham Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes 2010
Once again we are busy with the preparation and planning for the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes in May. This year we are delighted that the pilgrimage will be led by our new Archbishop who is most supportive of our mission and invites the people of the Diocese to join him in what is considered a wonderful event in the Diocesan calendar.

Lourdes’ VIPs
Emma is 17 and a parishioner of Christ the King and Our Lady of Lourdes Coventry, she was born 13 weeks prematurely and has cerebral palsy. She first came to Lourdes with the HCPT when she was eight. Ruth remembers vividly her coming in to the house on returning and saying, ‘That was an amazing and life changing experience mum, you must promise me that you will go one day.’ A remarkably mature reflection for an eight year old, but Emma has a presence and a maturity about her which is striking. It was Ruth’s and Liz’s first visit to Lourdes and at times Ruth said she had been quite simply overwhelmed by the warmth and friendship she has encountered: ‘Emma just kept laughing at me but I just haven’t been able to stop crying because it was all just so lovely and beautiful.’
