To assist our stewards with the extremely limited parking it is essential we know if your group intends to arrive by coach or minibus. So that parking can be reserved for your coach, please notify the parish by Monday 24 August at the latest: stmary.harvington@rcaob.org.uk.
Parking is FREE. To help us make the best use of our limited parking and ensure a smooth experience for all visitors, we kindly encourage pilgrims to car share or use public transport wherever possible.
Drawing hundreds of pilgrims from across the Archdiocese each year, the Harvington Pilgrimage is a special opportunity to honour the English Martyrs and celebrate the rich Catholic heritage of this historic shrine.
Last year's pilgrimage brought together worshippers for Mass, prayer, and reflection at the Hall, remembering the courage and faith of those who suffered persecution while keeping the Catholic faith alive. Join us this year as we gather once again in this unique and inspiring setting to pray, give thanks, and draw strength from their enduring witness.
