Let us walk that we may adore


A walking pilgrimage for England & Wales to St George's Cathedral in Southwark, London

in the week before the Adoremus Eucharistic celebration on Saturday 10th October 2026


Ambulemus ut Adoremus: Let us walk that we may adore


At the Hearts in Search of God Spring Gathering on 21st March 2026 a proposal was made for a national walking pilgrimage in the week before the Adoremus Eucharistic Celebration on 10th October 2026 finishing at the Metropolitan Cathedral of St George in Southwark on Friday 9th October for shared prayer. The pilgrimage will embody the values of the Sisters of the Holy Cross of compassion, faith, prayer and community. A small group of perpetual pilgrims will walk the full distance, joined by day pilgrims who will register for each day. The route is currently being developed.


The St Wilfrid's Way Camino


The annual St Wilfrid Camino will be held in the Diocese of Leeds over the weekend of 10th & 11th October, which is the nearest weekend to St Wilfrid's feast day. This will offer another walking pilgrimage opportunity in northern England. This two-day Camino is from Leeds Cathedral to the Church of St Wilfrid, Ripon.More details will be made available on the website of the Diocese of Leeds. 

More about Adoremus

Adoremus is the name given to the National Eucharistic Congresses that periodically take place in England and Wales. In 2024, Adoremus took place at Oscott College amd in 2018 in Liverpool (see photo). 


The Bishops of England & Wales have proposed that the next Adoremus celebration will take place in London on 10th & 11th October 2026. There will be a celebration at St. George’s Cathedral, Southwark followed by a Blessed Sacrament Procession to Westminster Cathedral. The liturgies in the cathedrals will be by ticket only but the procession will be open to all.  


More details about events over the weekend will follow on the website of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England & Wales.
