The Latin Mass Society organises a walking pilgrimage to Walsingham every year that takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend. Pilgrims walk from Ely to Walsingham which is a distance of 57 miles. Solemn Masses are offered each day, and the pilgrims recite or sing the rosary as they walk.
Bookings are now closed for those who want to walk the full distance, and I understand that more than 100 will be doing so. This will make it the largest pilgrimage in its 10 year history. However, anyone can take part in the final Mass which is at 2.30pm on Sunday 29th August at the Shrine in Houghton St Giles. The Mass is followed by a procession along the Holy Mile and the day concludes with devotions at the site of the Holy House.
It is a wonderful event and I would encourage anyone who can get there to attend.
