Each year, Year 12 students from Ullathorne have the privilege of taking part in the Diocese of Birmingham's Pilgrimage to Lourdes. This unique experience provides an opportunity for young people to deepen their faith, serve others and grow as members of a wider Catholic community.

Through prayer, reflection and acts of service, students accompany pilgrims from across the diocese, offering friendship, support and compassion to those in need. The pilgrimage embodies our mission of being an active Christian community of love and service, allowing students to live out our Ullathorne values by being faith-filled and prophetic, compassionate and attentive, and grateful for the opportunity to serve others.

For many students, Lourdes is a life-changing experience that strengthens their faith, develops lasting friendships and inspires them to make a positive difference in the lives of others long after they return home. It is a powerful reminder of what it means to be the best we can be, for ourselves, for others and for God.
