2001 Pilgrimage to Walsingham
To mark the 50th Pilgrimage in September 1999, it was decided to donate
benches for the new church which had been planned for 1999. Due to planning
difficulties and waiting for the appointment of a new Parish Priest, we
were asked to hold the money in the St Richard's Pilgrimage Fund until
the new church is built.
The total cost of the 2001 Pilgrimage in August will be £92 - Juniors
£75.
