DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE following the highly successful visit in 2010, Bishop Humphrey is to lead a second pilgrimage to the Holy Land from 16-24 April this year. A key aim of the pilgrimage will be to meet with local Palestinian Christians who will lead the group around many important places of pilgrimage, including the place of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee and the via dolorosa in Jerusalem, with special services at each site. Pilgrims will be able to renew their baptism vows in the River Jordan and those who are married, their marriage vows at Cana of Galilee.
