DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO LADYEWELL

Ladyewell Shrine, Saturday 28th June 2025, 10.30am

Join us for a prayerful pilgrimage this summer as we visit Our Lady’s shrine at Ladyewell. Situated on the doorstep of our diocese, this day pilgrimage presents a wonderful opportunity to take up the Jubilee call to pilgrimage without travelling too far away from home. Our pilgrimage begins with Mass at St Mary’s church, before our Rosary Procession takes us to the shrine, where pilgrims will have the opportunity for private prayer, to visit the reliquary, and to explore the grounds. Our visit will draw to a close with Adoration and opportunities for reconciliation. The cost of the pilgrimage is £26 per person, which includes the donation to the shrine and coach transfer (pick up from St Bernadette’s, Whitefield at 10.30am).

Please be aware before registering that the footpath along the processional route is very uneven. To find out more, please contact the pilgrimage office on 0161 817 2209 or email pilgrimage@dioceseofsalford.org.uk or download a book form below.

JUBILEE YEAR PILGRIMAGES AT SALFORD DIOCESE

We are delighted to announce a number of pilgrimage opportunities in celebration of the 2025 Pilgrims of Hope Jubilee. Pope Francis has designated 2025 as a Year of Jubilee, inviting people across the whole Church to celebrate at a local level, as well as coming together as one universal family. At the heart of this uplifting celebration is the theme of pilgrimage – a quest to discover and leave behind all that separates us from God in the hope of finding renewed fulfilment, peace, and joy. As such, our Pilgrims of Hope Jubilee Coordination Team are delighted to offer a range of pilgrimages at home and overseas. More about the Jubilee year read in diocesan booklet.
