For Episode 68 of the All Kinds of Catholics podcast Theresa Alessandro joined the pilgrims before the start, on all four ways, and at the concluding celebrations in Nottingham. Pilgrims felt able to speak to her from the heart; of their experience of walking, of their Catholic heritage, of the hospitality they received enroute, of the presence of God in nature, of community, hope and love.


In the words of St John Henry Newman; 'Heart speaks to heart'.
