Pilgrimage to Lourdes

2022

Each year, the Amsterdam Drug Pastorate organizes a pilgrimage to Lourdes in the South of France.

The Amsterdam Drug Pastorate (DPA) is a foundation that provides pastoral care to people who are or were stuck in their lives due to substance abuse. From the Christian tradition, drug pastoral care provides an answer to the existential questions that this situation evokes for the people in it. In particular, the drug pastoral care is for people who (due to or because of their drug use) do not have a social network or have difficulty finding connection.
