COME AND WALK!!!

Join us on the JOHN PAUL WALK FOR THE NEW EVANGELISATION.

It's a challenge - but it's glorious, and you will love it.

Walking through some of the most beautiful countryside in England... praying at Mass in  abbeys destroyed by Henry VIII now echoing again to the ancient prayer of the Church...singing together...eating a hearty supper together at the end of a long happy day...arriving in Walsingham as generations of pilgrims have done down the centuries...

Until you have experienced a glorious outdoor Mass with a group of singing pilgrims...or shared Evening Prayer together after a 20-mile walk....you cannot imagine how beautiful these experiences are.

Come and be part of the adventure. August 6th-11th 2013.

That's all good and well, but shouldn't 'evangelisation' be more about seeking out those who do not have the faith, preaching to them and trying to convince them of the truth?

Yes of course...and a great deal of that is going on, but it must be soaked in prayer. From this John Paul Walk, a great deal of good things flow. You don't evangelise by just going out and teaching: it all starts from, and is nourished by, prayer...and this includes this great prayer-walk in the summer....which is also, of course, an act of witness as people see us in the towns and villages...
