Whithorn Youth Pilgrimage

When: Sunday 30th August, All Day
Where: Whithorn (Free transport provided)

Join us as we gather alongside the wider Diocesan and National Catholic community for the Annual Pilgrimage to Whithorn. We’ll begin the day in Newton Stewart with games and activities from 11.00 am, followed by a pizza lunch. After lunch, we’ll head down to the beach for a talk on St Ninian: who he was, and why he matters to us, as well as some time for questions and discussion.

We’ll then join Bishop Frank and the Diocesan community for Mass on the beach, following which we’ll enjoy our packed supper on the beach before returning home.
