Jubilee pilgrimages
Jubilee information
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in your faith, so that in the power of the Holy Spirit you may be rich in hope”. Romans 15:13.
During this Jubilee year you are invited to visit four churches in our diocese designated as places of pilgrimage. You can get a ‘passport’ to take with you and collect the stamps from each of the churches. This is an opportunity for us all to journey together as Pilgrims of Hope.
The four churches are:
Cathedral Church of St Mary and St Boniface Plymouth
The Cathedral is a place central to the heart of the Diocese of Plymouth. Our beautiful cathedral designed by Charles and Joseph Hansom in the 1850s today hosts major liturgical ceremonies and civic events. The cathedral welcomes all those who will be making a pilgrimage during the Year of Jubilee.

Church of St Cuthbert Mayne Launceston, Cornwall
The National Shrine of St Cuthbert Mayne is at Launceston. Cuthbert Mayne, a martyr of the Reformation, is the secondary patron of the Diocese of Plymouth and a local saint who was arrested while ministering as a Catholic priest in Cornwall. He was imprisoned in Launceston Castle and martyred in the town square. The relic of his skull is housed and venerated in this church.
You can visit the parish website here. The church is open at Mass times.
Please call the parish if you wish to visit at other times and check before visiting
Church of the Holy Trinity Dorchester
Located in the heart of Dorchester, Holy Trinity Catholic Church is deeply connected to the story of the Chideock Martyrs – faithful Catholics who stood firm in their belief during times of persecution, ultimately giving their lives as witnesses to Christ. Their unwavering hope and courage remain a powerful testament to the strength of faith in adversity.
Holy Trinity has origins as far back as the 11th Century and the present building is a beautiful 19th Century Grade II listed church that is a constant source of inspiration for both visitors and regular worshippers.
