Names have been coming in for the new Lourdes Memorial Book that we plan to take when we return on pilgrimage next year.

The book will list the names of deceased Hospitalité members, pilgrims, including supported pilgrims, and friends of Lourdes who have supported our pilgrimage over the years and will be placed on the altar during our pilgrimage Masses.

This year the book was sent over to Lourdes and placed beneath the candles at the Grotto.

We plan to continue adding names in future years so that our family members can be remembered every time we return on pilgrimage to Lourdes. 

We invite you to send in details of your deceased Lourdes family and friends to be included, including full name, hometown and date of death. If proposing a friend’s name, we need you to have permission from a close family member of the friend. 

Please send details either by email to Head of Hospitalité John Brown by emailing john.brown160@ntlworld.com or by post to 3 Eton Road, Linthorpe, Middlesbrough TS5 5ER. Please send details by August 31.
