Welcome to The Irish Pilgrimage Trust
The Irish Pilgrimage Trust is a registered charity in Ireland. Each year at Easter, The Trust travels on pilgrimage and on holiday to Lourdes with young people with special needs.
The Trust also provides respite care in its purpose built home from home in Kilcuan. Since its opening in 1998 Kilcuan has been the venue of many friendship weeks and has welcomed many organisations with a similar ethos as The Irish Pilgrimage Trust. Situated in the beautiful woodland setting of the grounds of the Brothers of Charity the building was designed with the special needs of our guests in mind. All rooms are en-suite and are wheel chair accessible. A carefully designed oratory welcomes all into a wonderfully peaceful sacred space.
The Trust is in the process of acquiring and developing a new respite home in Rosslare. This will be an 18 bed home catering for young people and adults with special needs. The facility will be available to members of the Trust as well as like minded organisations.
There is also an annual pilgrimage in June to Hosanna House in Bartres, close to the town of Lourdes. Click here to visit the Hosanna House section.
Every two years a group of cyclists travel through France to Lourdes - a different kind of pilgrimage to the Grotto. Click here for more details.
