Christ the Good Shepherd Parish in Workington are organising a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 2026 which is also open to any interested parishioners from our churches.
Fr Philip Conner who is leading the pilgrimage writes: “Visiting the Holy Land is a once in-a-lifetime experience, to walk in the footsteps of the Lord. This pilgrimage will start in Jordan and include visiting the newly-opened baptism site of Our Lord and crossing the river Jordan, ascending Mt Nebo where Moses looked over the Promised Land, and exploring the ancient Nabatean civilization and World Hertiage Site at Petra, before visiting Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee and Jerusalem, and the cities of the Decapolis. This pilgrimage will be a pilgrimage of peace, and besides visiting the holy sites associated with Our Lord, the pilgrimage will provide an opportunity to be in solidarity with those who are suffering and support the Christian people of the Holy Land. The price is £1,795.”
If you are interested please email Fr Philip: philip.conner@lrcd.org.uk or phone the Workington parish office on 07588 209315.
