Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela · 24 May 2010

Restore, Refresh, Rejoice! Supporting the restoration of St George's Hanover Square - church and organ. Please help us to preserve our church and organ for future generations. The church is a community space in Mayfair with a wonderful musical history that we are working to maintain.

Story

I have decided to go on Pilgrimage, and  would greatly appreciate your support.

The Rector and Church Wardens of St George's, Hanover Square (where I am verger) have very kindly granted me a three-month sabbatical during which I plan to walk the “Camino”, the pilgrim route from  St Jean de Pied de Port in the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela, a journey of some 500 miles. This should take about 40 days (the same length as Lent.),  averaging 12.5 miles a day (blisters permitting) and staying at pilgrim refuges every night. I leave on Monday 24th May.

You can support me in the following ways:-

 1. By keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.

2. By sending me your name to be written in a book which I will leave in the Cathedral at Santiago for your personal petitions.

3. By pledging an amount for every mile I cover.  A penny pledged will generate £5.00. Ten pence pledged  will produce £50.00, one pound - £500.00, two pounds - £1,000.00 and so on.

Every penny of what is raised in this way will go to the St George’s Hanover Square Foundation  as I am financing the trip myself. The Foundation is currently funding the repair, restoration and refurbishment of the church and the purchase of a new organ.

Best wishes and God bless you.
