Let Us Walk Pilgrimage
About this event
A walking pilgrimage for England and Wales from Maidstone to Southwark, London
Monday 5 to Friday 9 October
Ambulemus ut Adoremus: Let us walk that we may adore.
At the Hearts in Search of God Spring Gathering a proposal was made for a national walking pilgrimage in the week before the Adoremus Eucharistic Celebration on Saturday 10 October.
The pilgrimage will start at the Church of St Francis of Assisi in Maidstone and finish at the Metropolitan Cathedral of St George in Southwark on Friday 9 October. The walk will mark the Year of St Francis of Assisi and will embody his values of joy, simplicity, humility, peace and love of creation.
A small group of perpetual pilgrims will walk the full distance, joined by day pilgrims who will register for each day.
The route is currently being finalised, but the plan is as follows:
• Monday 5 October: From the Church of St Francis in Maidstone to Aylesford Priory
• Tuesday 6 October: From Aylesford Priory to the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Otford
• Wednesday 7 October: From the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, Otford to the Church of St Vincent, Dartford
• Thursday 8 October: From the Church of St Vincent, Dartford to the Church of Our Ladye Star of the Sea, Greenwich
• Friday 9 October: From the Church of Our Ladye Star of the Sea, Greenwich to the Metropolitan Cathedral of St George, Southwark.
