To mark the tenth anniversary of the Order’s international pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in 2014 led by the 49th Grand Master (the late Don Carlos Gereda y de Borbon) the Grand Priory of England & Wales has been given permission by the Guardians and Administrator of the Anglican Shrine to conduct a pilgrimage to Walsingham from Thursday 30th May to Sunday 2nd June 2024. The Grand Prior, Bailiff and Chaplain-General will lead the Grand Priory on this pilgrimage, during which the Grand Priory will also hold its Spring National Investiture Service.
Walsingham was the country’s main centre of pre-reformation pilgrimage, founded in the 11th century, a time when many of our forebears in the Order went on crusade to the Holy Land. This is an ideal opportunity for us to make a pilgrimage to what has been known since those days as ‘England’s Nazareth’. Those of you who attended the pilgrimage in 2014 will know what a special place Walsingham is.
The timetable for the weekend and full booking details are available here.
