The Latin Mass Society’s annual pilgrimage to Walsingham saw record numbers this year. Its growth is stark, rapid and promising. When the initiative began 14 years ago it had some 12 attendees. In 2021, that number had risen to 120. In 2022, to 167. This year saw over 200 sign up for the full three day pilgrimage.
