Young Adult Helpers (18+)

The Young Adult Team on the Nottingham Diocesan Lourdes Pilgrimage is a new offering from the diocese. Open to those aged 18-35, this offers a unique opportunity to serve the main pilgrimage, deepen faith, and build lasting friendships.

Young adults will take on a variety of roles, including carrying banners in processions, supporting music ministry, serving at Mass, and assisting with wheelchair maintenance and support. We will also help with catechesis sessions, airport transfers, and hotel support to ensure the smooth running of the pilgrimage. We will also be involved with any evening and free time activities. Finally, there will be opportunities for spiritual formation, including talks and reflections to deepen the pilgrimage experience.

Contact Charles Archer (Young Adult Ministry Lead) charles.archer@dioceseofnottingham.uk for more information!

Basic Information:

  • Monday 14th - Friday 18th July
