Parish Faith Walk

**This walk will be mainly off-road**
Itinerary
2.00pm Meet at Our Lady and All Saints church for a family friendly meander around our beautiful surroundings with reflections, prayers and faith-based activities. A chance to spend time in each others company, reflecting on our personal journeys through life, as we enjoy the blessings of nature around us.

Dress
Please dress for the weather and in footwear appropriate for the conditions (potentially, mud).

Join us each Friday during Lent, starting Friday 14th March, any time between 12 noon and 1.30pm, for a soup lunch in the Priory.
There is no charge but donations can be offered, which will be passed to various charities.
This is a casual affair and you’re welcome to pop in or stay as long as you wish.
Visitors from other parishes are very welcome. There is plenty of parking on site.
Venue: 5 Lancaster Lane, Parbold WN8 7HS
