Someone who goes on a pilgrimage "prays with his/her feet" and experiences with all his/her senses that our entire life is one long journey to God.

The Three Day Pilgrimage provides a kind of breathing space in which people can calmly explore and reflect on where they find themselves in their lives at that moment in time.
Lough Derg is a sacred place apart to bring burdens and leave them behind, to seek healing for wounds and to ask for them to be healed.
Coming on the Three Day Pilgrimage, pilgrims agrees to undertake the pilgrimage programme of prayer and quiet reflection in bare feet, keeping Vigil and maintaining the Fast.
This is an opportunity to give thanks to God for having the health, the time, and the freedom to do the pilgrimage. It's a moment to remember one's loved ones at home and anyone who particularly asked for prayers, and also to say a prayer for fellow pilgrims.
The Diocese of Derry Three Day Pilgrimage led by Bishop McKeown starts on Friday, 26th and concludes on Sunday, the 28th July.
Bus will depart after 10:00am Mass in St Eugene's Cathedral, Friday 26th July will travel via Lifford and Ballybofey.
