All are invited to join us for this historic tradition that we are celebrating again this year! Join us on Rogation Sunday, as, following the 11:00am Eucharist, we walk the boundary of the Cathedral parish.
This includes going along the seafront towards Clarence Pier and then through the City to the Guildhall. The Lord Mayor will meet us at the Guildhall as we pray for God’s blessing on our parish and our City through this coming year. We will take this opportunity to pause for a picnic also on the Guildhall Steps.
We would normally take the train one stop to Portsmouth Harbour. We will then take the Gosport Ferry across the harbour and back - in recognition that our parish boundary is on the Gosport side of the channel! - finally walking outside the Dockyard and on to the International Ferry Port.
The total distance one way is about 4 miles, with all welcome to join for the whole route or for a portion. At the end, anyone still feeling fit can walk back (about 1½ miles direct) or we will find a bus or share a ride back from the Ferry Port.
Please bring drinks and a sandwich; and sun cream if fine, or waterproofs if wet! It is a fun and friendly occasion, enjoying the open air together and discovering more about our Cathedral parish. Do join us!
