Grants and Bursaries

Bursaries

The Society can make funds available to enable children and young people to take part in events such as the pilgrimages organized by HCPT.

We consider the spiritual development of children to be as important as their physical and emotional development.

Excerpts from some young pilgrims diaries:

got to the stations of the cross. We took pictures and we took turns at saying prayers. After lunch we went shopping for presents. Then we walked up the hill for mass in the city of the poor. After dinner we carried candles in the torchlight procession. It was very beautiful

Packing to go home a sad day but will be happy to see mum, I will like to go back to Lourdes again I really enjoyed it

Individual Grants

The Society has set aside funds to support families, individuals and children in a number of ways.
We have assisted single parents who have needed financial support at difficult times, especially young single mothers who have not been able to call on their own family or friends for support during their pregnancy.

We are willing to offer assistance to young mothers to obtain advice and support during their pregnancies so that they are fully aware of all the options for their unborn child.

It is our aim to promote life and prevent unnecessary terminations. We are therefore willing to consider requests for financial assistance with the costs of professional counseling via sympathetic LIFE counsellors.

All grants are considered on their individual merit. If you wish to apply for a grant please download and complete the Grant Application form.
