- Return from Lourdes 2023 | edinburgh-lourdes
Return from Lourdes 2023 Our 2023 Pilgrimage to Lourdes was truly wonderful, filled with many uplifting spiritual experiences, inspiring and reflective music, prayerful liturgies, and a chance to reunite with old friends and make new ones! The return to Edinburgh was an unpleasant one for sure, with confusion, delay and a serious lack of communication – an experience shared by many other passengers that day. We had hoped and planned that all would go smoothly, but factors out-with our control meant that did not happen and we share your disappointment and frustration and will be complaining in the strongest possible terms. You may also wish to make your own complaints. Despite an unfortunate experience at Edinburgh Airport, we hope that this will not affect your memories of what was an otherwise very successful Pilgrimage. We will of course keep you updated in relation to the discussions which will be taking place in relation to the inbound journey. Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh Lourdes Pilgrimage Committee
