PILGRIMAGE IN HONOUR OF THE ENGLISH MARTYRS

by

The Latin Mass Society, in conjunction with the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, is organizing a pilgrimage in honor of the Martyrs of England, which will be led by the Canons of the ICKSP.

The Church of St Thomas of Canterbury and the English Martyrs in Preston has been entrusted to the care of the ICKSP priests by the Rt Rev. Michael Campbell, Bishop of Lancaster.

This very fine church, designed by Edward Pugin, is not only dedicated to the English Martyrs, but is built on the site of the execution of several of the leaders of the Jacobite Rising of 1715.

The program is as follows:
Assemble 11.45 am at the Church of St Walburge for devotions
Noon: Procession to the Church of the English Martyrs
12.30 pm Solemn Mass

The organizers are hoping for a large congregation.  Participants are encouraged to bring banners.

CONTINUOUS 40 HOURS ADORATION

by
Sunday February 11th at 6 pm until Tuesday 13th at 10 am

The church will be locked at night.  If you are a male aged 18+, and you would like to stay in the presbytery to adore during the night (free bed & breakfast!), please email:
