Dromard Camino Walk on Saturday, April 11 will raise funds for the Lourdes Assisted Pilgrimage Fund and (inset) Fr PJ Hughes
For this year's Dromard Camino Walk on Saturday, April 11, which has been spearheaded by Fr PJ Hughes and the North Longford parish of Dromard, supported by the local GAA club and the parish council, the main focus will be to raise funds for the Lourdes Assisted Pilgrimage Fund.
Monies raised goes to support the Ardagh & Clonmacnois Diocesan Assisted Pilgrims Fund which brings sick pilgrims to Lourdes each year. This year the diocese is bringing 37 sick pilgrims on the pilgrimage. In recent years it has become a major challenge to raise enough funds to bring ill pilgrims and also to help with the costs of support staff.

It is really hoped that people will turn out in large numbers to support this extremely worthy cause and at the same time enjoy a healthy walk and also the picturesque countryside of North Longford.
Walkers can choose to walk either 20km or 10km. Ideally people will book a place by visiting the website https://dromardcaminowalk.ie beforehand, so that we can plan for facilities, medals, refreshments, etc, but if you are unable to do that, you can book your place on the morning of the walk.

It's €50 to join the Camino, with this money going to an extremely worthy and needy cause. The walk begins at Dromard GAA club house at 8am on Saturday, April 11.
If you enjoy walking, why not come and support us by taking part in the Dromard Camino Walk.
