Annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Glastonbury 6 September
Pilgrimage to Glastonbury - This year’s pilgrimage will take place on Sunday, 6 September 2025, and will be centred on the theme “Mary, Mother of the Faithful.” We have booked a coach, with fares of £26 per adult, £19 for children aged 12-18, and free for children under 12. The increase in cost is due to a requested entrance fee of £4 and rising fuel prices. Early booking would be greatly appreciated. Sign-up sheets are available in both churches. Please ensure you include your contact details when booking. If you would like to attend but are concerned about the cost, please speak in confidence to one of our clergy.
Sunday 6 September 2026
We look forward to welcoming pilgrims once again to Glastonbury for our annual Diocesan Pilgrimage, celebrated this year under the theme “Mary – Mother of the Faithful.” The day begins in the Shrine Church, where we will pray the Rosary before the Statue of Our Lady of Glastonbury. The Statue will then be carried in procession into the Abbey Grounds. Confessions will be available in the Shrine during Exposition, and the Chapel of Healing Prayer will be open in the Abbey Grounds throughout the morning.
Pilgrims can visit the Shrine Repository tent for devotional items and enjoy refreshments from the Abbey Café and St Mary’s cake stall. You are warmly welcome to bring a picnic. A youth procession to the Tor is planned for the morning.
In the early afternoon, we will gather for the Rosary Procession, making our way through the Abbey Grounds and down the High Street, returning for the Pilgrim Mass, celebrated by Bishop Bosco.
May this day be one of grace, fellowship, and deep peace for all who come.
