WALSINGHAM PILGRIMAGE FOR HEALING AND RENEWAL
It is a joy to invite you to join me on a day trip to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham on the late August Bank Holiday (Monday 28th August) for their annual Pilgrimage for Healing and Renewal. We will meet at the Shrine at 10:30am, I would encourage you to share transport where possible and if you are without transport let me know! Our day will commence with an introduction to the Shrine and some opening prayers before having the opportunity to visit the Holy House, Shrine Church and explore the grounds.

Weather permitting, at mid-day, we will gather outside in the beautiful Shrine gardens, designed by Tessa Hobbs, to celebrate a sung Eucharist before having a ‘bring your own’ picnic lunch together (alternatively Norton’s café is open, and various shops are a short walk from the Shrine). The afternoon will see the ministries of healing take place, including sprinkling from the well at the Shrine, the laying-on of hands in prayer and anointing with the Oil of the Infirm. The day concludes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament as pilgrims are invited to kneel whilst the sign of the cross is made over them with the consecrated Eucharistic host.

Whilst the services are firmly rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, the liturgy is very accessible to all, and the day is filled with a wonderful selection of hymns and music! If you would like to see a service sheet from last year, please do get in touch, and I would be happy to show you and answer any questions you may have!

If you would be interested in joining me on this day, please do email me: [email protected] – if you are able and willing to drive others on the day, please do let me know also to pair those in need of a lift with a spare seat! There is no formal cost for the day other than arranging transport and providing your own lunch!
