Diocesan Local Churches Pilgrimage - Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle

Diocesan Local Churches Pilgrimage

Our Jubilee Year is now well underway, and our eight Local sites of Pilgrimage are open and ready for you.

Pick a passport at one up at any church along the way. Visit one or visit them all. Collect your stamp, and on each page, re-affirm the spiritual journey you’ve committed to this Jubilee Year. An indulgence is on offer with prayer, Eucharist and acts of mercy.

We have a very special long weekend planned for you. If the idea of visiting all eight Local sites of Pilgrimage in the Diocese is a little daunting. Mission & Evangelisation has done all the hard work for you. In just a few weeks on Friday 16, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May, we will journey with you over three days as each Church hosts us for mass, prayer, confession and good old-fashioned hospitality. This will be a chance to get your entire passport complete and meet countless new people along the way.

Check out our Itinerary below.
