Comment: | Each year, at Easter, HCPT - the Pilgrimage Trust takes thousands of children aged seven to eighteen with disabilities or special needs on a pilgrimage holiday to Lourdes in France. The children go in small groups, like families, with experienced volunteer helpers, many of whom are young people, with volunteer doctors, nurses and chaplains to give specialist support. From April to October, the Trust also organises pilgrimage holidays for people of all ages with disabilities and families with terminally ill children at Hosanna House, a specially equipped house in the mountains outside Lourdes. |
