There is a Pilgrim Mass at Southwark’s Roman Catholic St George’s Cathedral (opposite the Imperial War Museum) on Monday 2 June at 10am.

This marks the start of the Jubilee Year pilgrimage to Aylesford which is on the Pilgrims’ Way to Canterbury.

All starting out tomorrow independently on their way to Canterbury are welcome to start their own pilgrimage at this Pilgrim Mass.

The preacher will be Canon Michael Rawson, sub dean of the nearby Anglican Southwark Cathedral.

Afterwards pilgrims are invited to walk to Southwark Cathedral on a one mile route known as the Romero Way.

Refreshments will be available at the cathedral where passports and guide books can be obtained from the shop.

NOTE: After Southwark Cathedral, Jubilee Year pilgrims to Aylesford will at first be following a route by the river to Greenwich as an alternative to the traditional Old Kent Road exit from London.

The Jubilee Celebration Day is at Aylesford Priory on Saturday 7 June, eve of Pentecost.
