Journeys take us somewhere, maybe to school, work, home or even on holiday. Journeys are often frantic and fast paced fuelled by the desire to get somewhere… quickly! Life is full of journeys where the destination is the point. A pilgrimage is different because the journey is the point.
A pilgrimage isn’t fast paced. It is fuelled by prayer and reflection and takes us to a place of greater understanding of ourselves, how we connect with people, places and with God.
Try Pilgrimage is an invitation to experience a different sort of journey and see who or what you meet ‘on the road’. A pilgrimage can be on foot, by bike, bus and even in a chair! A pilgrimage can be done virtually.
This website is for you if you’ve never tried pilgrimage before and want a gentle introduction. We have free to download resources and videos to watch that will guide you.
To begin your journey, decide whether your route is to TRY or to HOST. This website is also for you if you are a church or Christian who would be interested in hosting a pilgrimage for people in your community.
