On Friday, 5th May 2017, a group of Year 10s and Sixth Formers from Our Lady’s Convent embarked on a pilgrimage to the historically rich Aylesford Priory in Kent. It was a welcome retreat from the stress of upcoming exams and gave the students much needed time to reflect. The students learnt the history of Aylesford from the friars, and attended Mass, where some of them took up offerings of petitions to the altar. The students also celebrated the rich diversity and Catholic ethos of the school by including a decade of the Rosary in Spanish, Albanian, Portuguese and English. The students would like to say a big thank you to all who made this prayerful day possible, and they hope to visit the idyllic pilgrimage destination again soon.
