Christ's pilgrim people

29/10/2015

​For over nine hundred years Christians have gone in pilgrimage to Little Walsingham, nestled in the valley of the Stiffkey.  They have gone in thanksgiving and in need.  They have gone to seek refreshment from the deep wells of God’s love.  They have gone to join their prayers with the powerful prayer of Mary, Mother of the Lord, for themselves and for the whole world.

The original Shrine of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Walsingham was destroyed at the Reformation and revived in the 1920s.  Groups from St Mary's have been going since at least the 1950s, and we'll be making a weekend pilgrimage next Spring, from Friday 27 to Sunday 29 May.  The cost will be around £145 (£90 for children), inclusive of all meals, accommodation and travel.

To download more information, please click here, or if you'd like to know more, please have a word with the Curate.  All are welcome.  If you'd like to make the pilgrimage, please sign the list near the church door and let the Curate have a (non-refundable) deposit of £10 before 15 November.
