The Irish Pilgrimage Trust, is a registered charity in Ireland for over 40years and have been travelling on pilgrimage/holiday to Lourdes with young people with special needs as well as young people who are carers for parents or siblings or those who have had an extremly difficult year. These children and young people are carefully chosen to provide much needed respite for their families Or for the individual themselves.

Yearly, groups from throughout Ireland fundraise tirelessly to raise much needed funds, to enable the young people to travel with no additional cost to their parents/carers.
