Ringover is glad to support the International Sanctuary of Lourdes for the launch of Lourdes United, the first worldwide e-pilgrimage, which will take place this Thursday, July 16, the anniversary date of the Virgin Mary's 18th and last appearance. This iconic e-pilgrimage will happen live from the Grotto of Apparitions.
Lourdes, an international pilgrimage centre, usually gathers 100,000 volunteers each year to welcome 3 million pilgrims and visitors - including 50,000 ill and handicapped - from around the globe.
Despite its reopening on May 16, the sanctuary of Lourdes is unable to welcome its traditional volume of summer pilgrims. This unique situation gave birth to a new initiative: the "Lourdes United" e-pilgrimage. This extraordinary day will bring together millions of people from all continents via television, radio, and social media in hope and solidarity streaming live over 15 hours in 5 languages!
This year, Ringover is providing an innovative telecom solution to answer calls from pilgrims with 14 numbers available worldwide in 5 languages (English, German, Spanish, French and Portuguese). Volunteers will have access to Ringover’s user-friendly web interface for processing all donation calls and messages. Contact detail synchronisation for existing contacts from the database will be put in place to facilitate processing and to personalise welcoming of regular visitors.
Don't miss out on this exceptional encounter on Thursday, July 16, 2020!
