Our Lady’s Pilgrimage on the Wye August 2026

This will be the 5th of Our Lady’s Voyages on the Wye. Fr. Richard Williams started the tradition, when parish priest, to draw attention to the dire state of our river and to the duty of us all to care for every part of God’s creation. Our Lady is greeted by parishioners at all stops on Her journey. The pilgrimage will take place over a couple of days following Our Lady’s principal feast on August 15th. After Mass in S. Mary’s, she will be processed through town to the riverside. More details soon.
