A Letter to Pilgrims

Dear Pilgrim

I want to thank all those who travelled in 2007 for their support and it was a great pleasure meeting so many loyal "Mancunia Pilgrims". A special word of appreciation goes to our Group Organisers who work so hard for their parishes and organisations.

In January of 2007 we moved to our new headquarters, which was not without a few traumas!!! I wish to congratulate our staff for their dedication and support and for the marvellous service offered to our pilgrims at that time and throughout the past year.

Cross and altar, Lourdes

2008 marks the 42nd season of the Mancunia Travel and more importantly the 150th anniversary of the Apparitions of Our Lady to the young Bernadette Soubirous. We are marking this year by offering a number of short breaks to coincide with the Apparitions in the months of February and March, details of which are available in a separate information sheet.

The Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, Mgr J Perrier, has invited all pilgrims to reflect on the 12 missions integral to the life of a pilgrim in Lourdes. Here are some examples: Lourdes, a time of prayer; Lourdes, a time for catechesis; Lourdes, a time for personal reflection; Lourdes, a time to pay attention to the sick; Lourdes, a time to experience the universal church etc. The Bishop asks us to weave some of these themes into our pilgrim life as we visit the Shrine this Jubilee Year.

In February of 1858 Our Lady said to Bernadette in the Grotto of Massabielle "I want to them to come from throughout the world" - 150 years later, will you fulfill the request of "The Beautiful Lady" - to process - to wash in the water - to pray??

Sincerely
Desmond M. Deignan

Managing Director
