Volunteering - Lady Helpers
The Lady Helpers form the biggest group of helpers and fulfill an essential role on the pilgrimage. Our team of Lady Helpers is made up of women from all walks of life. They generally perform a range of non-clinical care to sick Pilgrims from around our Archdiocese, who stay in the St Frai Centre in Lourdes . This includes tasks like:
 |
Assisting sick pilgrims with washing, dressing and feeding |
|
Cleaning wards |
|
Taking pilgrims out to ceremonies, a cafe, or shopping |
|
Liaising with the doctors and other helpers |
|
Supporting sick pilgrims |
|
Making tea and coffee for pilgrims |
|
Helping to serve food in the refectory |
|
Participating in the full range of pilgrimage activities - Masses, Ceremonies, Processions and social gatherings |
