A diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes is held annually

This year's pilgrimage will take place from Friday 20th to Wednesday 25th September

Parish groups, individuals and anyone with a desire to be part of this faith journey is welcome to partake.

Bishop Fintan thanks all those who volunteered last year and invites friends, family and fellow parishioners to this year's pilgrimage

People who need assistance are accommodated in a special hospital on the grounds of the shrine and this is staffed during the pilgrimage by people from Cork & Ross who volunteer to assist the pilgrims. The helpers and the able-bodied pilgrims stay in the hotels in the town - which are also near the Grotto.

If you'd like to join the Diocesan Pilgrimage as a helper this year, please

Are you grieving?

Bereavement is any significant loss in our lives. Grief is our natural response to this loss, Death is a very significant loss, but bereavement can also be in marriage breakdown, or miscarriage just to mention a few.

The process of grief can take time, it is a journey which has to be worked through. Grief is unique to each person, the greater the loss the more painful it can be. One of the greatest healers of grief is to share. A support group like Clonakilty Bereavement Support Group is a wonderful way to work through the pain of grief, where you feel understood, listened to, and encouraged to look inwards at your own inner strengths.

We are offering support over a 5-week period commencing:

Tuesday 20 February 2024
8:00pm in Clonakilty

This is a free service.  For more information please phone:
