Pastoral theme of the Sanctuary of Lourdes
Lourdes, Pastoral theme 2025
With Mary, Pilgrims of Hope

Each year, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes presents a theme which is a basic pastoral and planning framework for pilgrimage organisers and leaders, providing ideas for the organisation of pilgrimages and events in the sanctuary during the year.
The year 2025 is a special one. It is a Jubilee year, a ‘year of grace’ (Is. 61:2) in which the debts and penalties of sin are forgiven. In other words, the Jubilee is a major celebration during which all pilgrims have the opportunity to immerse themselves in God’s infinite mercy.
As you know, the theme of the Jubilee Year 2025 is PILGRIMS OF HOPE.
