Diocesan Pilgrimage to Walsingham
Fr Marco will be leading our parish to this year’s Diocesan Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham, celebrated by Cardinal Vincent on Saturday 20 September, with the theme in this Jubilee Year of ‘With Mary, we are Pilgrims of Hope, Sharing Mary’s Joy’.
Outline programme for the day:
10.00am Arrivals begin
10.30am Sacrament of Reconciliation available (priests are asked to volunteer for this)
11.30am Welcoming of parish and other pilgrim groups and banners
12.00pm Pilgrim Mass
1.30pm Picnic lunch
2.15pm Gather for the procession along the Holy Mile
3.45pm Prayers, Benediction and final prayers in the Abbey Grounds
4.30pm Departures Saturday
If you would like to come, please contact Fr Marco to express your interest ASAP and before Monday 21 July.
If we have sufficient numbers, we will look towards arranging a coach. There is only room for 60 coaches at Walsingham, so the sooner we book, the better
. The cost will be a pilgrim levy of £5 per pilgrim to cover the costs of entry to the Abbey Grounds plus the cost of transport ( to be confirmed depending on numbers).
