On the 15th October 1931 the Image of Our Lady of Walsingham was moved from the Parish Church to the newly built Holy House in the Shrine Church. As part of the 75th anniversary celebrations, in 2006, the Partnership of our Lady of Walsingham was established.
The Partnership level of membership was designed to more closely engage Pilgrims and visitors in the development of the facilities available at the Shrine. These additional funds have, over the years contributed to the building of the Milner Wing, the refurbishment of the accommodation in the College and St Augustine’s as well as the landscaping of the gardens. The Partnership enables you to play a part in the future building and updating of the facilities at the Shrine.
There are two levels of Partnership:
Walsingham Partners
Walsingham Partners commit to giving £20 per month or more and this builds on Society membership, receiving two Walsingham Review’s per year. In addition, Partners receive a Partnership Membership Card and their name entered into the Partnership Book. In February each year they are invited to a Partnership Pilgrimage Weekend and Dinner. At this weekend they hear about the new developments going on at the Shrine and attend talks given by outside speakers on topics related to the Shrine.
Richeldis Partners
Richeldis Partners commit to giving £50 per month or more and receive all the benefits of being a Walsingham Partner. In addition they are invited to a special complimentary dinner at the Shrine, which will be yearly on the 24th September, which is The Solemnity of Our Lady of Walsingham.
If you have any questions about the Partnership please mail us on membs@olw-shrine.org.uk
