2025 CAFt Pilgrimage to Lourdes

Once again, the CAFt Pilgrimage is in Lourdes at the same time as the Salford Diocean Pilgrimage.  The CAFt group will partake in aspects of the Salford week whilst providing a bespoke pilgrimage holiday for families traveling with us.

The CAFt week will run from Friday 1st Aug to Friday 8th August 2025 and we will be based in the Hotel Padoue.  

Below we have included some details on the hotel pricing and application process as well as suggestions on how you may want to travel to Lourdes.

We are here to help, so if you have any questions/queries please email lourdescaft@gmail.com
