Epiphany Pilgrimage and Way of the Magi
​Parish + Volunteer Involvement

There are many ways we would love parishioners of the Blue Mountains and other interested volunteers to get involved in.

ALL YEAR ROUND
  • Write a prayer intention for the next pilgrimage group to offer on your behalf: see the Prayer Intentions page
  • Volunteer to billet a pilgrim who would like to walk the Way of the Magi route at a different time of year (not at the time of the Epiphany Pilgrimage): see the Billeting page

​DURING THE EPIPHANY PILGRIMAGE (January 2 - 8 each year)
Each Blue Mountains parish has a nominated parish coordinator who is looking after and coordinating the parish involvement (as below). Their name and contact details are included on the Epiphany Pilgrimage poster in the foyer or narthex: please contact them to contribute to hospitality and welcome shown by your parish. Alternatively, please fill out the form below and we'll pass on your details...
