The Solemnity of Our Lady of Walsingham

Wednesday 24th September 2025

Week 36 - Commencing Monday 1 September 2025

Posted on Monday 1 September 2025 at 12:05pm

It is with great joy that the Shrine welcomes the news that the only Feast of Our Lady proper to England, Our Lady of Walsingham, is no longer simply an obligatory Memorial but now a Feast Day, following a decree by the Vatican. This Shrine, which was once the focus of Pilgrimage in a land called ‘Our Lady’s Dowry’, is now restored to the prominence it enjoyed for so long. We hope that this will encourage many more pilgrims to come and visit the Shrine where we pray daily for the Conversion of England to the Faith and to experience here a change which trans- forms their lives.

Wednesday 24th September 2025
12 noon - Solemn Mass, Shrine Church (live-stream) with The Revd Preb. Mark McIntrye.
