Our parish youth group joined together this month for a mini pilgrimage.
We began our journey at St Cuthbert's church, where we were warmly welcomed by our young leader volunteers from the university's Catholic Society. Ninia told us all about St Francis of Assisi and how we can help to rebuild God's church.
Despite the weather, we happily walked from St Cuthbert's church to the Franciscan Friary.
There, we had the opportunity to ask Brothers Lixson, Luchian and Paul some questions about life in the Capuchin order. Then Brother Lixson said a very special Mass for us.
We all travelled together from the friary to our final destination of the evening, St Godric's church, where we shared food and relaxed in each others company.
A very big thank you for the support of the young volunteers and the brothers during the session.
Our next activity is a pilgrimage to celebrate the Jubilee Year of St Francis of Assisi (800 years). We’ll walk from St Cuthbert’s to Durham Cathedral and finish at the Franciscan Friary, reflecting on how St. Francis inspires us to care for His creation and rebuild the Church today.
Activities will include reflection, a LEGO Church activity, prayer at St Cuthbert’s Shrine, a riverside walk, and shared food at the Friary.
Meet: St. Cuthbert’s Church, Old Elvet @15:00 hrs.
For: Young people and their families Bring: Comfortable shoes, water, light jacket.
A simple journey of faith and community. To let us know you will be joining us and for more information please email durhammartyrsparishyouthgroup@gmail.com
