Posted on March 12, 2020 by Diocese of Southwark

This was our last full day in the Holy Land and the Pilgrims were looking forward to a busy day seeing some of the important sites in and around Lake Galilee.  This is always a very special day for me as I love the places that we see around the Lakeside, all of which are … Continue reading Our Pilgrims have returned!

Pilgrims’ Reflections and Sunrise over Lake Galilee

Posted on March 10, 2020March 21, 2020 by Diocese of Southwark

All of the rooms at the Ron Beach Hotel have a view of the Lake which is why the hotel is to wide and means it can take a long time to make it from the dining room to some people’s rooms.This means that most people get an uninterrupted of the sunrise and people just … Continue reading Pilgrims’ Reflections and Sunrise over Lake Galilee

‘God is really at work’ and more.

Posted on March 9, 2020March 21, 2020 by Diocese of Southwark

An unexpected change of plans

Posted on March 8, 2020 by Diocese of Southwark

We were expecting to go to Bethlehem to visit the Basilica of the Birth.... but sadly our plans had to change. So, as well as not being able to see the church, we were unable to send half the group to L’Arche, Bethlehem which is one of Bishop Christopher’s Lent Call projects.  As a result … Continue reading An unexpected change of plans
