A Pilgrimage of Peace on Palm Sunday

Occurring
for 1 hour, 15 mins
Venue
St Nicholas Church , Abbotsbury
Address
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.
