Our Story and Mission
The Irish Hospitalité of Our Lady of Lourdes was founded in 1930. It is also referred to from time to time as the “Irish Hospitalité.”
The preamble to the Constitution of the IHOLL describes the organisation in this way:
“The Irish Hospitalité of Our Lady of Lourdes is a private association of the Christian faithful, recognised by the Irish Episcopal Conference. (Can. 319). As a lay association it is bound by the prescriptions for such associations in the Code of Canon Law, enjoying the rights and privileges, and observing the obligations set forth therein.
As a Private Association of Christ’s Faithful, the Irish Hospitalité of our Lady of Lourdes, based in the Archdiocese of Dublin, is a national organisation, with a membership comprising lay men and women from all Irish dioceses who work together in Lourdes, at their own expense, in the service of pilgrims, especially poor and sick pilgrims of all nations.”
