On Pilgrimage With: Georgina, Duchess of Norfolk

Where would you go? 

Almost certainly it would have to be to Walsingham, Medjugorje and Fatima.

Would you make any special stops?

Absolutely! Last year I went with a few friends to Italy. We drove through beautiful countryside and visited Pietrelcina, Padre Pio’s birthplace and the chapel of San Francesco. Then we went on to Monte Cassino and then to Nettuno to visit the shrine of St Maria Goretti. Then we continued to Rome and the Vatican and everything else that Rome has to offer the pilgrim. Afterwards we drove to Abruzzo to see the Holy Face of Manoppello, then on to visit the relics of the Eucharistic miracle at Lanciano before heading to Loreto to see the Holy House. On the way back we visited the home of St Rita of Cascia – a great saint to pray to for family difficulties. That was an amazing pilgrimage, quite a bit more than stopping off!
