Children's Pilgrimage 2026
Shouts of Joy!
Our 2026 Children's Pilgrimage is a special weekend for children aged 7 to 11.
It begins on the Friday evening with supper at 6.30pm and then our first Visit to the Holy House at 8.15pm. After a packed weekend, it concludes on the Sunday with lunch at 12.30pm.
At the 2026 Children’s Pilgrimage we will consider how joy is a special feeling of happiness. Mary,
chosen by God, became the cause of our joy when she said YES and became the Mother of Jesus.
