The Diocese of Clogher, which covers Co Monaghan and parts of Co Cavan, has cancelled its 2022 Pilgrimage to Lourdes.
The Diocese had a "tentative" date of the 8th to 13th of July for the pilgrimage, but has since revised its plans following "detailed consideration of the Covid situation".
The pilgrimage will take place online and the Diocese intends to have an in-person pilgrimage in July 2023, and arrangements for that will be made known later next year.
Bishop of Clogher, Bishop Larry Duffy, said that while it was regrettable to cancel it for a third year running, it is a wise decision in the current circumstances.
He added that the "invitation from Mary through St Bernadette for people to come to Lourdes can be realised again this coming year via an online pilgrimage".
