Mass for Pilgrims

Phil McCarthy • November 3, 2025

A Mass for Pilgrims of Hope: 2pm on Saturday 22nd November at Westminster Cathedral in central London! All welcome. 


During this Holy Year there have been many organised group walking pilgrimages. Many more individuals have undertaken personal pilgrimages on foot or by cycle. Others have prayed for pilgrims or have provided hospitality and other support along their ways. This Mass will be an opportunity for all those who have taken part in pilgrimages during the Holy Year in any way to gather and pray together. 


This Mass is open to all, with its theme of pilgrimage appealing to those who have walked the Westminster Way during the year or have completed other pilgrimages (walking and otherwise). 


Also invited are those who would have liked to have gone on a pilgrimage but have not been able to do so. Westminster Cathedral is a Jubilee Church, so the journey there on 22 November could be considered a pilgrimage in itself!  


Refreshments will be served after the Mass in the Cathedral Hall to which all are invited.
