The CA Pilgrimage is a Medically Enhanced pilgrimage. For over a hundred years the CA’s mission has been to make pilgrimage possible for all.

Funding

We are offering funding to Assisted Pilgrims and Volunteers see here for further information:

A pilgrimage to Lourdes is also a great opportunity for each of us to fundraise either for ourselves or to organise a community fundraiser to enable others to come to Lourdes with the CA. Read some ideas here - and thank you!

Donate

Please consider donating to The Catholic Association. Your donations will help us to continue the work of making pilgrimage to Lourdes possible for pilgrims who need assistance.

Encourage

The CA is appealing for everyone to invite any friends, family members or fellow parishioners who might want to come to Lourdes as an assisted pilgrim, or as a volunteer helper in order to help provide the support that our assisted pilgrims need. This page has been created as a place of resource for friends of the CA. All are welcome and all have an important contribution to make to the community that we form during our pilgrimage week.
