HCPT - The Pilgrimage Trust organises a pilgrimage to Lourdes during Easter week of 
over 3000 people comprising numerous local HCPT groups. Each group is self contained and known as a family group. During the week the family group will explore Lourdes and the surrounding area, participate in Mass and the Torchlight procession and share and learn about Mary, Jesus, and Bernadette and the Lourdes miracle.

HCPT Group 2 is based in the South East, particularly around Guildford and welcomes about
15 helpers and 7 children with special needs to join us over Easter week, planning for which starts in September each year.  We are blessed with many active supporters in the Guildford parishes, particularly St Josephs.
 

Families with children with special needs who might benefit from a week in Lourdes with HCPT Group 2, are invited to contact the Group Leader via the contact details below. The pilgrimage is free of charge for child pilgrims

Anyone who is interested in joining HCPT Group 2 as a voluntary helper needs to have imagination, the ability to listen, energy and lots of patience.  In addition to being prepared for anything from song singing and liturgies, to sports days and zoo visits, helpers are required to be CRB checked.

If you would like to travel with Group 2 and help our pilgrims to enjoy a special holiday on the Group's annual pilgrimage to Lourdes each easter, please contact Group Leader: John Neville (details below). Nurses, musicians and enthusiastic helpers are always welcome.
