Pilgrimage for Life

April 23, 2026

All are welcome to join the annual Pilgrimage of Reparation and Prayer for the Sanctity of Life on Saturday, the 1st of August 2026, at the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. 


This pilgrimage aims to not only to act as a reparation for abortion, praying for all the souls of the babies who have been or will be aborted; but also, for all mothers and fathers facing this very difficult decision.


The Walsingham pilgrimage will commence with the 12pm Pilgrim Mass and the Angelus in the chapel. The remaining outline of the day includes Eucharistic Adoration, Stations of the Cross, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Litany of Life and Benediction. This is followed by praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Blessed Rosary and a silent walk as an Act of Reparation. The pilgrimage will be concluded by a Prayer for England and the Salve Regina. 


More information, including on how to book coaches, can be found on the poster and the website: https://prolifepilgrimage.org/how-to-get-there/ 

If you cannot join in person, please consider joining the pilgrims in prayer.
