Group 199 have been going since 1994
(2008 was the 15th pilgrimage)
The Right Reverend Victor Guazzelli, (born March 19 1920; died June 2 2004) had a vision that an East London HCPT group should be established. He wanted children from his beloved East London region to have the opportunity to experience a holiday in Lourdes with the Trust.

On behalf of the Trust Bishop Victor and Tony Mills approached Kim O’Neill an experienced HCPT helper and a true ‘eastender ‘ to follow his vision.  The group soon became established under Kim’s guidance and shared vision.

The rest is history and the group who continue to ‘live the dream’ are now ready to embark on their 14th pilgrimage to Lourdes this Easter.
