This 11-day pilgrimage is a prayerful journey through the Catholic heritage of England and Ireland. Pilgrims visit historic churches, shrines, and sacred sites where faith took root, endured persecution, and shaped culture. From England’s ancient cathedrals and martyrs to Ireland’s rich monastic and missionary legacy, the pilgrimage weaves prayer, reflection, and communal worship into a deeper encounter with the Christian tradition of these lands.

 

“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.” – Psalm 84:5
