Annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Glastonbury 6 September
URGENT - Minibus Driver Required! It is our hope to be able to transport those who have signed up to attend the Glastonbury Pilgrimage on Sunday 6 September by minibus. Unfortunately, we now have no driver for that trip. We need an experienced and safe driver who is confident and happy to drive a minibus. NO Special licence is required, just a regular driving licence that has been held since before 1 January 1997. Could you help? It would mean attending the pilgrimage with the group for the day, setting off from St Elizabeth Hall and returning there at the end of the day. Please contact the parish office by Tuesday 1 September at the latest if you can help.
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.
