Already, groups of pilgrims are beginning to make their way across the Channel to France to begin the Chartres 2012 Pilgrimage.


This is a most wonderful spiritual act and our prayers go out to all on the walk, and, most especially to Caroline and Rich and family (6 children aged roughly from 18 months to 15 years).

This extract from the Black Madonna songs of medieval pilgrims is in their honour.
