Kent: Feast of Saint Jude celebrations at Faversham

The Feast of Saint Jude celebrations will be taking place at Faversham on: 24, 25 & 28 October 2015.

The feast weekend is the highpoint of the calendar at the National Shrine of Saint Jude in Faversham, and hundreds of pilgrims will be coming here in devotion to the Apostle. Although most come from London and the southeast, many others come from across Britain and even from abroad to celebrate this special time with God and with one another, in the company of the Carmelites.

The programme of activities during the feast includes regular celebrations of the Eucharist, blessings with the oil of St Jude, and other devotions. During the celebrations there is a piety stall, a display of Carmelite books, and light refreshments available.

If you are bringing a group of more than 10 people to Faversham for any of the feast celebrations, it is very important that you please contact the Shrine Office in advance so that they have an idea of numbers and can let you know details for coach parking etc. You can contact them on shrineoffice@stjudeshrine.org.uk
