A Call for Pilgrims: Adoremus 2026, the National Eucharistic Congress, takes place in London on Saturday 10 October 2026. Adoremus is a national celebration of the Eucharist, bringing together Catholics from across England and Wales for prayer, worship, catechesis, and public witness. Our Diocese has been allocated 45 places, and we are inviting parishioners from across our pastoral areas and parishes to participate in this important event. For fairness we are limiting tickets for each parish - name, email and parish details are required for each attendee.
Programme Highlights: the day will begin at St George’s Cathedral, Southwark, at 10:30am, followed by Mass at noon and a keynote address by Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe OP. In the afternoon, participants will join a Eucharistic Procession from Southwark Cathedral to Westminster Cathedral, concluding with Benediction. Additional opportunities for prayer, including Holy Hours led by youth ministry teams and an overnight vigil, are also planned, with further details to be confirmed.
Who can attend: in order to attend you must,
- be aged 18 or over
- be able to make your own way by car or train to St George’s Cathedral, Southwark, for 10:30am on Saturday 10 October
- be physically able to participate in the Eucharistic Procession (approximately 1.7 miles / 2.7 km)
Preparation Meeting: to help prepare for the event, all pilgrims are invited to Clifton Cathedral on Saturday 12 September 2026 for Mass (12noon) and orientation preparation session. This will provide an opportunity to meet fellow participants, coordinate travel arrangements, and receive event tickets and information.
