Pilgrimage of Reparation & Prayer for the
Sanctity of Life, Saturday 3rd August
This is the 40th year in which this pilgrimage to
Walsingham will take place. It will be led by Bishop
David Oakley of Northampton Diocese. On this day in
Walsingham pilgrims come together to make
reparation for the sins against life; to intercede for a
change of heart across every part of society; and to
refresh themselves in the peace and beauty of this
Shrine, remembering Our Lady’s words, “All who
come here will find help in their need”. See poster in
the porch (also available on parish website) giving
general information about the day and the way it can
be followed either in person if possible or otherwise
online. Download Booking Form
Quietness (Reverence) in Church
Be silent, be thoughtful, and be reverent, for this is
the house of the Lord. Before Mass speak to God.
During Mass let God speak to you. After Mass speak
to one another, but quietly, without disturbing those
who are at prayer – ideally in the porch.
