Columban Missionaries are celebrating Laudato Si’ Week by following in the footsteps of St Columban to reflect on ‘the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor’.
A pilgrim group of ordained and lay Columban missionaries and co-workers, led by our Director, Fr John Boles, will walk from Padstow to Fowey in Cornwall from 24-27 May 2023.
Drawing inspiration from St Columban, our patron, who embarked on his missionary journey to Europe more than 1400 years ago, we will call to mind as we walk the people and places served by Columban Missionaries today, in Britain and around the world, who are crying out for peace and justice, and ask what positive action we can take to bring about a fairer world.
Read on to sponsor the pilgrims and to register your interest in taking part in the pilgrimage.
