The core activity of the pilgrimage is to spend Easter Week (Easter Sunday to the following Saturday) in Lourdes.
The Irish Pilgrimage Trust is divided into groups of less than 30 people. Each group has a group leader, a number of volunteers and a number of young people who are our guests. The Trust arranges transport, accommodation and activities in Lourdes for our groups. There are numerous activities that groups can choose from in Lourdes, including trips to the mountains, visiting the historical sights in Lourdes, participating in relevant liturgies, as well as playing football (purely for fun!), and trips to the zoo, aquarium or similar such attractions.
