Some Information on IHCPT:-
IHCPT, The Irish Pilgrimage Trust is a registered charity in Ireland. In 1972 it began traveling on pilgrimage to Lourdes with a small group consisting of 14 young people with special needs accompanied by 14 adult carers.
Now, each year, at Easter, IHCPT travels with approximately 500 young people. Experienced volunteer adult carers visit the young people prior to the pilgrimage and accompany them throughout our week in Lourdes. The carers pay for their own fare and accommodation while IHCPT covers all costs (approximately €850) for the young people who travel with them.
The trust relies solely on the generosity of the people who make donations to it at church gate collections or at the many functions they organise throughout Ireland. Any donation makes a difference and is gratefully received.
