XX2025 Warriors to Lourdes

Warriors to Lourdes
~
Since 2013, the Knights of Columbus has partnered with the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, to sponsor the annual Warriors to Lourdes pilgrimage for wounded warriors who have suffered from physical or moral injury in service to our nation. In 2025, the pilgrimage will take place from May 13-19, coinciding with the 65th International Military Pilgrimage.
* Learn more about this meaningful journey by visiting the Warriors to Lourdes website.
* Watch a video recapping last year’s pilgrimage and read the article here.
* Donate to support our soldiers and chaplains on this life-changing experience.
* View and download the 2025 brochure and poster.
We also encourage you to watch and share the 28-minute film highlighting the transformative experience of the annual Warriors to Lourdes pilgrimage for wounded, ill and injured veterans seeking physical and spiritual healing.
U.S. Army doctor Lt. Col. Nathan Friedline came back from his fifth deployment to Afghanistan feeling isolated, even despairing. Encouraged by his wife to apply for Warriors to Lourdes in 2024, he found in the pilgrimage a renewed sense of faith, hope and purpose. Watch this video to learn more about his story.
