Derby Diocese Affirming Catholicism Pilgrimage to St Albans
Sat 21 June

A coach leaves front of Derby Cathedral 7.30am and arrives back by 8.30pm
Another pick up point (07.45) at St. John’s, Mickleover (good parking)

Last year at this annual event over 5000 people made their pilgrimage to the Cathedral and Abbey Church of Saint Alban. As the first British martyr, Alban’s shrine is becoming a national and international centre of pilgrimage. Alban is a model of integrity and courageous witness for all Christians today. We need to be reminded of Alban’s story and example, and the renewed inspiration and vision that the pilgrimage offers.

It is a day for the young and old; those of us who are or remain children and those of us who are ‘grown up’ adults. Pageantry begins the day with a procession for all from the Verulamium (actual Roman site of Alban’s trial) and the route taken by Alban through magnificent parkland (where the trees are ‘specially’ decorated), across the river Ver, and up to the Abbey steps where the enactment of the drama of execution in front of the Cathedral takes place; with huge puppets of the leading characters, supported by hundreds of costumed children.

It is not only a stunning spectacle; it is a profoundly moving experience. All priests, men and women, and all who have come to this festival are invited into the Abbey to join in the concelebrating of the Eucharist. This year the Bishop of Reading, Stephen Cottrell, is preacher at Evensong in the afternoon, and the principal celebrant at the Eucharist will be Bishop Christopher and the preacher the Revd Angela Tilby.

Please contact John Smart on 01332 332945, john-smart@uko2.co.uk, 15 Bromley Street, Derby DE22 1HL for booking and further information if required. Cost of coach trip £18.00, cheques made payable to ‘Derby Cathedral Chapter’ please. For more information, visit stalbanscathedral.org.uk
