Rome Pilgrimage 2014

A parish pilgrimage to Rome is being organised for October 2014, led by Fr Michael with the help of Pax Travel.  It promises to be a memorable and enjoyable pilgrimage to the eternal city, walking in the footsteps of Saints Peter & Paul.  As well as visiting various ancient holy sites, there will be an opportunity to see and hear Pope Francis at his weekly general audience – and we will also be enjoying Roman culture & cuisine!  The pilgrimage will run from Sunday 12th October until Thursday 16th October 2014, at a cost of £649 (plus single supplement if applicable).  A presentation evening will take place on Thursday 5th September.  Please take a leaflet from the back of Church if you are interested, or contact Fr Michael.
