✨Closing Ceremony✨

Hard to believe we’ve reached the end of our 2026 pilgrimage. We are so lucky to have such an amazing team supporting this pilgrimage from start to finish.

To the nurses, doctors and healthcare assistants who provide kindness and medical support to the assisted pilgrims throughout the week.

To the handmaids, for everything they do behind the scenes — from the dining room to preparing rooms and keeping everything running smoothly.

To the brancardiers, who transport and support the assisted pilgrims each day, along with the friendship and companionship they bring.

To the stagiers, for all the work they do before we arrive and after we leave — we truly couldn’t do it without you.

To the youth, thank you for your energy, generosity and willingness to help wherever needed. They bring so much to this pilgrimage.

To the clergy, for the solace, guidance and support they provide to the assisted pilgrims throughout the pilgrimage.

And finally, thank you to the assisted pilgrims for giving us the honour of looking after you throughout the week. 💙

2026 over and out 💜💛

💜✨The Youth Mass✨💜

We are blessed by the incredible support of the young people who join us from secondary schools across the diocese. These students give their time, energy, kindness, and compassion so generously, helping to transport pilgrims, offer companionship, and bring joy and comfort to those who need it most.

Their willingness to listen, to care, and simply to be present makes such a difference to everyone on the pilgrimage. Whether lending a hand or sharing a conversation, their kindness shines through in countless ways.

The truth is, we simply could not have this pilgrimage without them. Their presence, dedication, and support help make Lourdes possible each year, and we are deeply grateful for all they bring to our pilgrimage family.

To all of our youth volunteers — thank you. You embody the spirit of friendship and faith, and the Diocese of Ferns is so proud of you.

We thank the four youth leaders for giving their time and energy to support and look after these young people during the pilgrimage 🙏✨
