to protect them from the plague, and then they'll start the pilgrimage

Explanation:
Nice one!

I'm not sure about the way to put it in English, but that's the idea. And you have a typo there: it can not be librará here, but librara, a conjunctive.

:-)

rid them of the plague and make a pilgrimage

Explanation:

will renew the pledge made to San Sebastián that he rid them of the plague and (the town) will make a pilgrimage to ...

What I don't understand is the future tense (perhaps its a typo for librara?), and also that librará refers to the saint and irá seems to refer to the town ...

rid them of the plague and go on a pilgrimage

Explanation:
Just like every year at around this time, the people of Tossa will renew the promise they made to San Sebastian when he rid them of the plague and go on a pilgrimage to...
