Mass of Our Lady of Walsingham at St Barnabas Church, Jericho
St Barnabas Church, Jericho is set to host a special service celebrating the Mass of Our Lady of Walsingham. Scheduled for Saturday, 30th September at 10 am, the service marks an initial step in exploring the potential creation of a dedicated local 'Walsingham Cell group' for the parish.
The gathering invites both regular parishioners and interested visitors from other communities to consider meeting on a monthly basis. Depending on community interest, the initiative may also lead to organizing a group pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in Norfolk. Attendees interested in discussing the plans further will have the opportunity to speak with the vicar following the service.
Exploring the Walsingham Tradition in Oxford
For visitors interested in the historical background, the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham traces its spiritual origins back to an eleventh-century vision experienced by Lady Richeldis de Faverches. While the original medieval site was lost during the dissolution of the monasteries, the tradition was re-established in the early twentieth century. Today, the modern Anglican shrine continues to serve as a place of prayer and pilgrimage.
Visitors to St Barnabas Church, Jericho can also observe a small local shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Walsingham located at the west end of the building, reflecting the church's long-standing tradition of devotion.
