Jubilee Pilgrimage Visits to St Patrick’s Cathedral, Armagh

I want to invite you and members of your parish community to be part of this special year by participating in a special pilgrimage day to St Patrick’s Cathedral during this Jubilee Year.

St Patrick’s Cathedral will welcome Parishes within their ‘Pastoral Areas’ to visit on allocated dates throughout the year from May to September for a programme of events that will begin at 2:30pm and which will include a "Guided Cathedral & Museum Tour”, an opportunity to walk our outdoor "Jubilee Walk of Hope”, a chance to spend time in prayer and reflection before joining together for Mass at 5:30pm.

Pastoral areas are invited to nominate a choir or a combined choir for the Mass and Priests and Deacons are encouraged to participate in the Mass. Priests are encouraged to offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation during the recitation of the Rosary as part of the preparation for Mass. Please encourage religious communities and faith based groups / organisations in your area to join these special moments.

A full listing of the dates is attached and I would encourage Parishes to promote this as an opportunity to visit this iconic and faith filled centre of our Archdiocese. Pastoral areas who wish to change the allocated dates are asked to contact me at your earliest convenience.

Our Cathedral team are looking forward to welcoming you and your parish to Armagh.

With every blessing,

Fr Barry Matthews Adm.
