Year 7 Pilgrimage

Hewson_Alexander.jpg

On Tuesday, 6 May, the Year 7 students became Pilgrims of Hope as they undertook a pilgrimage from Thomas More College to St Augustine’s Church in Salisbury. Along the 3km journey, students stopped at key stations where they received a cross, a shell, a prayer card, and a candle - each symbolising aspects of their faith journey. After a refreshing morning tea break, they explored the church with their teacher, learning about its different areas, symbols, and their significance within the Catholic Church and faith.

The students then participated in a Mass led by Fr Roderick, who kindly explained the different parts of the service and their meaning as he celebrated with us.

This experience marks a significant starting point in the spiritual journey of our Year 7 students as members of the Catholic community at Thomas More College. It also serves as a bookend to their journey, which will conclude with their Year 12 farewell Mass - also to be held at St Augustine’s.
