The inspiration behind this year's Youth Pilgrimage @ Home is the Shrine’s pilgrimage theme for the year: Mary, Queen of Creation. We will also be exploring how we can ‘stay connected’.
Each day there will be videos available and a resource booklet of things to do at home, linked to the videos. We will be streaming live from the Shrine and all our young people (and leaders!) will be encouraged to interact during the week and send us photos of the various challenges and activities that they take part in on our Youth Pilgrimage Facebookpage, Twitter and Instagram (using the hashtag #WYP2020). The programme is constantly being developed so keep an eye out for any changes here on our website and on our Youth Pilgrimage Facebook page. There will be music from the fabulous CJM and bible studies, a virtual Holy Mile Procession, Devotion, Benediction and much more!
T-Shirts with the Mary Queen of Creation logo will also be available from the Shrine Shop! Details on how to order will be provided soon.

Be part of our virtual processionWe need your help! Today we are inviting young pilgrims to join our virtual processionby sending in a video of themselves saying the ‘Hail Mary’. This can be on your own or with other young people who live in your household (we need a mixture of the two!). Your video needs to in 'landscape' with a short pause between the two sections. We are hoping to then include all videos during our Virtual Procession on the Tuesday evening (4th August).
Emails must be sent from an adults email account and include a statement which gives permission that the video may be shown online. (This will include our website, Facebook Page, Vimeo and YouTube. No names or other details will be used).
When you have recorded your video please send it to Caroline Ward, our Schools and Young Pilgrims Officer at [email protected] along with the permission statement from a parent or guardian
Videos will need to be in by Friday 26th June in order to be included. We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
(Pause here for 3-4 seconds)
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The videos will be released daily and will be available to watch again.
