Safety notice issued ahead of Pilgrimage walk in Waterford

Ahead of a Parish Pilgrimage Walk in Waterford the organisers have issued a public safety notice to attendees.

In connection with The Parish Pilgrimage Walk, as part of the Jubilee Year of Hope, the Parish Pastoral Council in Dunmore East is organising a Parish Pilgrimage Walk to Holy Trinity Cathedral in Waterford City. 

The walk will take place on Saturday, September 13. 

However, the organisers are mindful of people's safety and one of those involved commented: "As the roads from any of our churches to the city are not the safest for such a venture, those participating will gather at St Mary’s Church, Ballygunner, at 9.30am and walk from there to the Cathedral, arriving for Mass at 12noon."

Those who won't be walking are invited to join with the parishioners at the Cathedral for the Mass. All ages are welcome to attend, but those under 18 should be accompanied by a parent or grandparent.
