Pilgrimage, the Journey to Christian Unity


16 - 23 June
Pilgrimage to Angers and the Loire Valley

The pilgrimage, which offers opportunity for the Eucharist both in the Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions, will be centred on a stay with the sisters at the Bon Pasteur convent in Angers. Pilgrims will benefit from the guidance of Fr Kevin Eastell, president of the League, who is based in the city as chaplain to the English-speaking Catholic community and as a faculty member of the Catholic University.

Angers has much to interest the pilgrim and it may also be possible to visit other places of interest during the week, such as Fontevraud, Chinon, Saumur and the sights of the Loire Valley. On 22 June, pilgrims will attend the celebration the Feast of St Thomas More at Notre Dame de la Chapelle - Fr Kevin is director of the Moreanum, an internationally renowned research centre on the study of St Thomas More.

Pilgrims are responsbile for their own travel arrangements and insurance. There is a direct train service from Paris Montparnasse or from Lille Europe. The cost for bed & breakfast for 7 nights is £112 (single)or £157-50 (twin). Lunch and dinner at reasonable cost are also available at the convent. Full details are available from Fr Brooke Lunn by email, by phone 020 7251 5143, or write to Charterhouse, Charterhouse Square, London EC1M 6AN.
