"When England returns to Walsingham Our Lady will return to England" ~ Pope Leo XIII
You are invited to the fourth Latin Mass Society (LMS) walking pilgrimage to Walsingham. We will be walking from Ely to Walsingham from 23 to 25 August 2013. This is a bank-holiday weekend. You can book online today on the LMS website (www.lms.org.uk), or call the office and book over the phone: (+44) (0)20 7404 7284
In total the walk is about 55 miles. On the way there will be:
* Solemn High Mass each day
* Mass in the private chapel of historic Oxburgh Hall
* Confession available throughout the pilgrimage
* Traditional Pilgrims Blessing at departure
* Pilgrim's booklet with all prayers, hymns, devotions and Masses
* Camping or indoor accommodation (contact the LMS for details)
* Support vehicles throughout the route (water, first aid, pick up)
There will also be a coach going from London to Walsingham on the Sunday for the final Mass of the pilgrimage and the Holy Mile. Contact the LMS for details.

Priests or religious interested in attending do not need to book online and should contact the LMS directly.
Ancient Walsingham Prayer
O alone of all women, Mother and Virgin, Mother most happy, Virgin most pure, now we sinful as we are, come to see thee who are all pure, we salute thee, we honour thee as how we may with our humble offerings; may thy Son grant us, that imitating thy most holy manners, we also, by the grace of the Holy Ghost may deserve spiritually to conceive the Lord Jesus in our inmost soul, and once conceived never to lose him. Amen
I will be there on the Sunday. I think we will be taking the 'yoof' from the church for Youth 2000. I normally attend the Latin Mass as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is an extremely vibrant day what with both groups being there.
It would probably be a good venue for a Guild meeting (just a thought, but one worth thinking about).
I hope one day to walk with you to walsingham and thus give thanksgiving for my English Catholic heritage. -One of my baptisimal names is Walsingham in honour of that sacred place.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless all pilgrims
Oh, I wish!
ReplyDeleteSome happy pilgrim, please say an "Ave" for those of us in exile from Our Lady of Walsingham.
Is it true that the Monks of the Transalpine Papa Stronsay are leaving their island and walking along on the Way to Walsingham Pilgrimage this year?
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyous time. May the number of pilgrims be the highest yet, the weather fair, and the blessings incalculable. Please pray for those who, for reasons of age, health, distance, cannot be there.
