Pilgrimage to Coventry & Wales Sept. 8-21

We will visit Celtic sites throughout the country including time with liturgist and priest Jim Cotter in the Llyn Peninsula area and Coventry Cathedral in England with Dean Todd Donatelli from the Cathedral of All Souls.

We will  fly  to Birmingham,  England, and  spend  two days  in Coventry and at Coventry Cathedral destroyed in World War II, from which has come the Community of the Cross of Nails and a strong emphasis on reconciliation.  Then we will make our way by coach to The Celtic Royal Hotel in Caernarfon on Cardigan Bay near Snowdonia National Park. From this northwestern vantage point, we will  spend four days exploring the northwest area of Wales. 

We will spend a day with Jim Cotter exploring the Llyn Peninsula.  Jim is a wordsmith and poet, who has a passion for writing and speaking and is the Vicar of the pilgrim church in Aberdaron.  He has authored a number of books, most recently, Out of the Silence … Into the Silence: Prayer’s Daily Round.  We will also visit Anglesey, venture into a slate mine in Blaenau Festiniog, and take in the beauty of Bodnant Gardens.  In the southwestern part of  the country we will be  lodged at Castell Malgywn.   We will visit St. David's. St. Non's, pre-historic sites in Nevern,  Pentre Ifan, the Tenby area, and Carew site of a Celtic Cross. From there we will go to Worcester, England, by way of Tintern Abbey.

Our days begin with prayer.   We meet again  in  the evening before dinner  for  reflection and evening prayer.   Eucharist is celebrated in various sites along the way.
