On the morning of the Monday after the Ignite Festival (this year 5th May), we join the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Walsingham. In the past we have been coached from Swaffham to 5 miles away from Walsingham and walked the remaining 5 miles. However, as the festival is now held in Bury St. Edmunds, we will just be walking one mile (The Holy Mile).
Pilgrimage is a journey to a special place. It provides the opportunity to step out of the busyness of our lives and take time to reflect. Walking provides an opportunity to do this surrounded by the beauty of God's nature, and chatting with people on the way. It is also very enjoyable and gives a real sense of achievement when you reach your destination, especially if you've not had much sleep during the Ignite Festival!
Please ensure you have the right clothing for any eventuality (e.g. rain coat, sun hat etc.), sun cream (if it's sunny) and your own water bottle.
We welcome parents and supervised children to come and join us! Please email igniteteam@rcdea.org.uk if you wish to do so.
