National Youth Pilgrimage to Iona
Argyll & the Isles WELCOMES young people from across Scotland!
Our Diocese is hosting this year’s National Youth Pilgrimage to Iona 9-10th Sept 2017. This is a Catholic Youth Service Scotland event.
In recent years we have taken young people from each diocese to different pilgrimage sites e.g. Nunraw, Haddington, St Margaret’s Shrine, Dunfermline and last year we were nearly blown away on the beach at Whithorn!
This year’s national youth event will involve an overnight stay on Mull on Sat 9th Sept and then gathering on Iona on Sunday 10th along with 150-200 young people from across Scotland.
Bishop Brian, with the young people from Argyll & the Isles, will welcome the young people onto Iona, on Sunday.
Each diocese will be represented by a group of young people and their youth leaders and chaplains.
The event will include Holy Mass in the Abbey, prayers in the St Michael Chapel in front of the Blessed Sacrament, and a tour of the Abbey, and for the early birds there will be a walk to St Columba’s Bay, with Bishop Brian, and the Argyll Youth.
We hope that the young people of Scotland will enjoy the experience of pilgrimage as they journey to Iona and get a window into the incredible life of St Columba.
If you are interested please get in touch with your Diocesan Youth Worker or Coordinator.Archbishop Leo Cushley is very much looking forward to making his way with young people from across Scotland.
