Our youth section coach is full and the youth have begun their spiritual preparation for the Pilgrimage. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">The adult coach, however, still has plenty of seats and is an attractive way to travel, with stops in both directions, and 7 nights in Lourdes for just &pound;563.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">The main pilgrimage flight is now <strong>full</strong>. <em>Mancunia Travel, have now sourced a <strong>second aircraft</strong>, which will depart on Friday 19 July, but return on Saturday 27, offering an extra </em>night - but at no extra charge for any new bookings.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">So please advise anybody who you think may be interested in going to Lourdes to contact <em>Mancunia</em>(Mary Doyle and Des) t: 0161883 1515 or e: </span><strong><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://outlook.lancsngfl.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=3b4d2bc407224cfdb85de10c1b056a94&amp;URL=mailto:office184%40mancunia.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0072c6;">office184@mancunia.com</span></a></span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;">as soon as possible, and before the 2nd plane fills up!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">More details about this pilgrimage can be obtained from Father Geoff Bottoms at: Our Lady of the Assumption, 125 Common Edge Road, Blackpool, FY4 5DF, t: 01253 832958 e: </span><span style="color: #000099;"><a href="https://outlook.lancsngfl.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=3b4d2bc407224cfdb85de10c1b056a94&amp;URL=mailto:hst125%40tiscali.co.uk" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000099;">hst125@tiscali.co.uk</span></a></span><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
