Helping Out At Lourdes

.
Were a couple of 15 year old girls express a wish to go to Lourdes to "help out" with a pilgrimage, how would they go about it if their parish priest, when asked, said that he had no idea as there wouldn't be a pilgrimage to Lourdes from his parish?

The childrens' parents want them to go with a group from the UK - how does one find out what groups are going, and when?

Here's a link to the Salford Group newsletter. Maybe someone in the contacts list could help:

Look at the (icomplete) list of pilgrimages on the Lourdes website.

I would strongly suggest contacting the Handicapped Children's Pilgrimage Trust (HCPT) whose web site is at http://www.hcpt.org.uk
They have years of experience of organising pilgrimages for young people and have local groups all over Britian which your young girls can join.
