Killaloe Diocesan Lourdes Pilgrimage - Autumn 2026

What to Expect

The Killaloe Diocese offers a second annual Lourdes pilgrimage in autumn, running 28 September to 3 October 2026 (5 nights), led by Bishop Fintan Monahan. Pilgrims experience the full range of Lourdes devotions including the candlelight Marian procession, the baths, outdoor Masses at the Grotto, and opportunities for individual prayer. A limited number of assisted pilgrim places are available.

This is an ideal option for those who cannot travel in June. The autumn pilgrimage follows the same format as the summer pilgrimage, departing from Shannon Airport.
