Parish-prison pilgrimage: Wed. 31st Aug. from 09:30 am at
St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church to HMPYOI Downview, to which parishioners of Holy Cross Catholic Church are warmly invited to join.
9.30am Mass at St. Margaret’s, after which we will answer Jesus’ call to visit Him by walking together to HMPYOI Downview. St. Margaret’s has a short and safe pedestrian route to the prison and we anticipate the pilgrimage walk to take around 45 minutes.
Once at the prison, we will spend a short time in prayer and silence outside the prison gates, praying for prisoners, their families and friends as well as the victims of crime before going into the Family Visitor Centre (outside the prison gates) for refreshments and an opportunity to chat with Pact staff and volunteers.The RC Chaplain at Downview, Deacon William Lo, is also hoping to be with us.
Those who may like to join but do not feel up to the walk would be most welcome to make alternative ways from St. Margaret’s to the prison should they wish. Please note, we will not be going inside the prison.
Please contact: Marie Norbury – 07581 194907 for more information or to let me know they’ll be joining the pilgrimage – that will help with numbers for refreshments.
