A Successful 2008 Pilgrimage

More than 60 pilgrims, young and old, celebrated Easter together on Holy Island - Lindisfarne, during the weekend of 21-23 March. The pilgrimage enjoyed their quickest crossing of the tidal causeway ever, even though suffering some severe weather due to the early Easter. Maggie Mason was elected to be Overall Coordinator of Northern Cross 2009. She succeeds Judy Guy-Briscoe, who co-ordinated this last year's pilgrimage.
