Revised Date: Killaloe Diocese Autumn Pilgrimage to Lourdes: Owing to an increased demand for accommodation in Lourdes during this Year of Faith a request has been made to the Diocese to reduce the number of nights from five to four. Consequently the revised dates for the Autumn Pilgrimage are from Friday 27th September to Tuesday 1st October, with a new reduced price of €590. This is still the cheapest pilgrimage out of Ireland. This year the Irish Church is celebrating the Centenary of the First Irish Pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1913. Book on line at www.joewalshtours.ie and you will be entered for a draw for one free place. Full details on the Diocesan website at www.killaloediocese.ie.
