The Diocese of Shrewsbury is promoting a new pilgrimage route called St Philomena's Way as part of a national project to establish walking pilgrimage routes in each of the 21 Catholic dioceses of England and Wales.
The Pilgrim Ways: Hearts in Search of God project aims to provide a pilgrimage route in each of the dioceses, one which starts at the cathedral of the relevant diocese and then ends at a shrine within the same diocese.
The project organisers have been walking and reccing the routes during 2023 and will continue to do so during 2024. Once the routes have been established, further walking guidance and spiritual resources will be provided to enhance the journey, notes the project website.
