In today’s Culture Tuesday, Helena shares an account of her recent pilgrimage with the Parish of Holy Family, Leicester. Journeying together from church to church—beginning at Our Lady of Good Counsel, continuing to Sacred Heart Church and concluding at St Joseph’s—parishioners united in a powerful public witness of faith, carrying a large cross through their community. Along the way, participants reflected on why they chose to give their Sunday afternoon to this act of devotion—coming together not just as individuals, but as one family in Christ. From young to old, the pilgrimage became a moment of shared prayer, evangelisation, and meditation on the Lord’s Passion. This episode highlights the quiet but transformative power of pilgrimage: how stepping out together in faith can break down the walls and distances that often separate us, even within our own parish communities. It’s a reminder that when we gather intentionally—across ages and backgrounds—we don’t just walk side by side, we grow stronger as one body, rooted in Christ and united in mission.If you enjoyed this programme, please consider supporting us with a one-off or monthly donation.
