Commit the first fruits of your new year to the Lord with a pilgrimage walk through the Blue Mountains. In 2025, we celebrate 10 years of the Epiphany pilgrimage and give thanks to God for his abundant blessings during this time.

Early-bird registrations for the full 2025 Epiphany Pilgrimage are now open and will be available until Sunday November 10, 2024. Registration for partial pilgrimages, day-only pilgrimage and for the Finnies Fiesta will open from Monday 11 November.

The Epiphany Pilgrimage is a 7 day, 110 km pilgrimage through the Blue Mountains which coincides with the Feast of the Epiphany. The pilgrimage begins at Our Lady of the Way Parish, Emu Plains on January 2, 2025 and finishes at Sacred Heart Parish, Blackheath on January 8, 2025. There will also be a 10 Year Anniversary Thanksgiving Mass on Thursday January 9, 2025 at the Chapel of the Magi, Bell.
