The Liverpool Archdiocesan Lourdes Pilgrimage Association (LALPA) is a registered charity (1091132) with the primary objective of organising and promoting pilgrimages to Lourdes. The association actively raises funds to support these activities, ensuring that as many individuals as possible can participate.

One of our key objectives is to enable those who are sick or handicapped to partake in the pilgrimage. Additionally, the association supports volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to care for these individuals, ensuring a spiritual and supportive experience for all.

The success of the pilgrimage relies on the dedication of countless volunteers across various groups. However, the overall governance and leadership of the pilgrimage is managed by the Executive, which includes the Trustees of the charity. The Executive ensures that the pilgrimage is conducted in accordance with the charity’s objectives and values, maintaining a high standard of care and organisation.
