Epiphany Pilgrimage 2022 Registration
A two-day Epiphany Pilgrimage and Fiesta will be held in Glenbrook in the lower Blue Mountains from January 2 - 3, 2022 to coincide with the Feast of the Epiphany. Come along for some or all of the celebrations!
This year's modified form of the Epiphany Pilgrimage will be particularly family focussed, with walks, reflections, prayer time and activities suitable for all ages. Registration is required for all those attending any part of the celebrations including those who are not walking. See the link below to register. There is no cost for the pilgrimage and fiesta. If you are joining for the meals and other festivities then you are invited to make a donation to assist with covering costs. There will be a donations box at the church. Were you hoping to join in a 7-day Epiphany Pilgrimage? Don't worry! Preliminary discussions for a 7 day, 'Season of Creation' pilgrimage in September / October 2022 have commenced, with further details to follow in the coming months. |
