Pilgrimage to Pentecost

“The entire Church, as beloved pope John Paul II used to say, is one great movement animated by the Holy Spirit, a river that travels through history to irrigate it with God’s grace and make it full of life, goodness, beauty, justice and peace.”
— Pope Benedict XVI, Pentecost Sunday 2006

Pilgrimage to Pentecost

Pilgrimage to Pentecost is a course designed to guide participants on a spiritual pilgrimage towards Pentecost.

As pilgrims on this journey, we follow the example of Our Lady and the first disciples, who prepared for the first Pentecost together, by reflecting on the Scriptures and devoting themselves to prayer.

The Pilgrimage to Pentecost is designed to run during Eastertide from the 2nd Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday) to the Saturday after Pentecost Sunday.

It was initially prepared for the Southwark Archdiocese Jubilee Celebrations in 2025 by the Agency for Evangelisation and Catechesis and the Southwark Catholic Charismatic Renewal Team. The booklet has now been updated to be used in any year, and if suitably adjusted, at another time of the year.  

Three Component Parts

The Booklet

Pilgrimage Day

On 7 June 2025 as an archdiocese we met for a Jubilee Celebration. What was key was the gathering together to pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit – a new Pentecost.

We encourage you in your journey to find a time to gather in-person or take the time specifically to pray for this.

If you are interested in running in-person sessions or being a hub and need any help please contact Southwark Renewal.
