On Saturday 20th September a parishioners from our parishes alongside some from Holy Rood, Watford, travelled to Walsingham to join the annual Westminster Diocesan Pilgrimage led by Cardinal Vincent Nichols. After a 3 1/2 hour long coach journey we celebrated Mass together with nearly 2000 others from our diocese where the Cardinal preached about the seven joys of Mary. We then had a picnic lunch before processing along the Holy Mile to the ruins of Walsingham Abbey, where we had exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Cardinal Vincent gave Benediction. It was a long, but very beautiful day, and all those who went on the pilgrimage have many memories of our day together taking our petitions to Our Lady of Walsingham.
