An extraordinary spiritual experience made all the more special by having Bishop Greg O’Kelly as chaplain. His knowledge and connection to the people helped the group to connect with the local Church and experience something of the unique challenge encountered by the Church pioneers.

My first pilgrimage and a memorable one. It was full of the beauty of God’s creation, the sights, sounds, moments of silence and reflection in the people we met along the way including all the clergy and parishioners instilling in me a sense of love and communion with people and our surroundings.

An inspirational and life-changing journey for me. I have Parkinson’s and at the beginning felt anxious about ‘keeping up’, but I have felt supported both physically, emotionally and spiritually every step of the way. The group of 16 have bonded really well and I know I will leave this pilgrimage enriched and deeply moved.

This pilgrimage has left me with a deeper sense of the presence of God in my life.

Prayerful, reflective, informative, and friendly group. It gave me a sense of belonging to the Church. Experienced hospitality and prayerful support from communities we visited.

We shared joy in God’s Word and joy in God’s creation!
