On Saturday 6th August, a glorious sunny day, Bishop Philip led the Pro Life Pilgrimage to pray in reparation for the respect of the sanctity of Life from conception to natural death. In the afternoon following Adoration and Stations of the Cross the pilgrims walked in silence along the Holy Mile to the ancient Priory Grounds which once housed the original Holy house and Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.
The Franciscan Friary of the Renewal carried Our Blessed Mother and Bishop Philip Egan led the closing prayers.
