Pilgrimage to Aylesford
14th August 2010
On Saturday 14th August 2010 we will be making a pilgrimage to the Shrine to Our Lady
at the Carmelite’s Aylesford Priory. In addition to the Shrine there are a number of chapels
and the Rosary Way modelled on the Way of the Cross with shrines dedicated
to each of the Mysteries. During our time at Aylesford we will have Mass,
a procession along the Rosary Way and the day will culminate in Benediction.
The purpose of the pilgrimage is to continue our growing together
as the Alton-Petersfield Pastoral Area (APPA), to pray for the needs of APPA
and for this year dedicated to the Priesthood.
