Easter 2011

The theme for the Easter 2011 Pilgrimage is "Praying with Bernadette"

Easter 2011

The liturgy for our Trust Mass on Thursday 28 April was led by Groups from The Irish Pilgrimage Trust who celebrated their 40thanniversary in Lourdes this year.

The whole of the Trust Mass can be viewed on-line, on the Lourdes official Daily Motion page.

The total size of the HCPT Easter 2011 Pilgrimage was over 4,200 people - of these over 3,000 were from the UK. Others being from the USA, West Indies, Romania, Croatia and a new Group from Spain!

We chartered 27 planes and two trains to get everyone to Lourdes and back, we use 59 different Hotels and our Groups were suported by over 160 Nurses and 18 Doctors.

The HCPT Easter Pilgrimage is a wonderful event which brings a huge amount of joy and happiness to all those involved. All of our helpers are volunteers who freely give their time and pay their own way.

Can you help?

We will need nurses, doctors and helpers for 2012, we need people to continue praying for the work of the organisation, and we rely on the generous donations from our supporters.
