Dear Pilgrims, I write to you with hope and enthusiasm for our pilgrimage in the Footsteps of St Paul, in April 2026. St Paul has been one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. Through his numerous letters we can confidently say that no Christian is without his influence. His conversion has been the inspiration of many throughout the centuries, for nothing is impossible for God. As we make our way through these important steps we pray for open minds and hearts so that we too can be inspired to be bold and brave Christians that our world needs at this time. I look forward to sharing the journey with you, listening deeply to the movement of the Holy Spirit as we ponder his life and gaze upon his traveled path. Fr Brendan Hogan
