Walk the Augustine Camino with us

During this Jubilee Year, we're holding a very special event to raise awareness and join together to pray for the communities that we serve. 

We would be delighted if you joined us as Pilgrims of Hope on some or all of the Augustine Camino, starting at Rochester Cathedral, finishing at the Shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate, and passing through four of the designated Jubilee churches and shrines in Southwark Archdiocese. We hope to be joined by a priest during the pilgrimage who will offer Mass and lead our prayers.

Date: Monday, 1 September - Sunday, 7 September 2025
