Pilgrim Passport

Phil McCarthy • November 29, 2025

Whether you will be walking alone or as part of a group a Pilgrim Passport identifies you as a pilgrim.  


The Pilgrim Passport has several benefits. It may allow entry to Cathedrals such as Canterbury which charge entrance fees. It can be stamped at churches, shrines and places you stay and so form a record of the journey. 


Please be aware that the Hearts in Search of God project is in an early phase and so do not be disappointed if no stamp is available or if the church is closed. 


You can download the passport and add your name and details of the pilgrimage. You will be asked to complete a short questionnaire which helps us evaluate this Project.
