Page 3: Lourdes Pilgrimage 2016

This  pilgrimage  offers  a  privileged  opportunity  •  to  serve  Christ  in  the  sick  who  go  to  Lourdes,    •  to  grow  in  one’s  apprecia@on  of  God’s  

graces,    •  to  deepen  one’s  friendships,  and  •  to  see  some  beau@ful  places,  namely            Madrid,  Avila,  Segovia,  Toledo,                    Pamplona,  and  Lourdes.
