A Pilgrimage of Peace on Palm Sunday

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Nicholas Church , Abbotsbury
Church Street Abbotsbury Weymouth, DT3 4JJ, United Kingdom

Join Our ‘Pilgrimage of Peace’
This Palm Sunday, 13th April, we invite you to a reflective 2-mile circular walk from St Nicholas Church, Abbotsbury, starting at 2:30pm.
Together, we’ll journey to St Catherine’s Chapel and back, pausing along the way for peaceful readings, songs, and mindfulness practices. Walking in silence through nature, we’ll embrace the present moment, listening to our breath, feeling the world around us, and reflecting on ways to bring peace into our lives and communities.
At St Catherine’s Chapel, we’ll offer prayers for peace and gratitude for life’s gifts. As we return, palm crosses will remind us of the message of sacrificial love and humility—the power of peace over selfishness.
Come walk with us, breathe in peace, and share it with the world.

Portesham: St Peter

St Peter’s Church, has stood at the centre of the village as a beacon of hope for at least 1000 years. Open during daylight hours it offers a place of sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.  The Chancel provides a discreet place for private prayer. When you visit have a wander around the churchyard and look for our unusual grave stone. 

Worship is held most Sundays and you are most welcome to join us.
