WALSINGHAM CHILDREN’S PILGRIMAGE

What a fantastic energising weekend it is in this wonderful environment. All the activites organised by the Walsingham team.. Food from the Shrine. All we have to do is get there and this is organised as well.

We as a Diocese are once again planning to organise a group to go on the Children's Pilgrimage to Walsingham.  Please do encourage your young children to come along. 

All are welcome.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

·  £120 per head. Includes all children’s meals, accommodation plus a free t-shirt!

·  Adult Helpers £150 per head full board

·  NB. Adult places are limited. WHO IS IT FOR?

ALL children between the ages of 7-11 in Sunday Clubs, after-school clubs, uniformed organisations etc. in parishes all over the country!

WHERE’S IT AT AND WHAT’S INVOLVED?

You will stay in our Shrine accommodation (single, double, twin and triple rooms).
All meals included Lively worship, teaching, and fun activities.

Mary said ‘Yes!’ Richeldis said ‘Yes!’ Will you say ‘Yes’?

We go up on the 9.00am Friday until the Sunday evening about 7-8pm. It is an educational visit so Mary Nagel will contact all of the Headteachers of the Children's schools to ask for them to go on the pilgrimage on the Friday
 

 The Children stay in the shrine, usually we are in Recheldis House. A mixture of men and women leaders all  CRB checked. The children share rooms, usually two or three in a room of the  same sex. We try and make sure they are all comfortable with whom they are sharing. (We meet up the week before in Chichester to get to know each other). The accommodation is secure . All Children and Adults on the site wear a wrist band so no strangers are allowed and all Adults on the site have a current CRB. We eat are meals in the Shrine refectory, lovely!


Adult youth leaders are welcome please phone Mary or Myself, Fr Mark Gilbert. Parents are not usually expected there is a Families Pilgrimage every November for those who want to go with their Parents.

 

St John's Ambulance are there over the weekend in case of any need. Proper risk assessments and medical forms etc are taken out before hand.

For those who go on the Pilgrimage it is a very formative experience.  A video of the last two pilgrimages can be seen on the website. www.swwshchichester.weebly.com  where you can download the forms.
