English Pilgrimage Update

Dear Members of and Friends of the Franciscan Family,

This is a simple update on the number of RSVPs as of today 8 August. A reminder that all registration is done online at: https://franciscan-pilgrimage-england-800thanniversary.com

• A flyer is attached, please share in your ministries as well.
• The deadline for registration related for food is 23 August,
• Registration for other events 8 September (with the understanding that anyone can come last minute to free events).

By way of commentary on the numbers below:

• The Dover numbers reflect some local parishioners, who began registering this past weekend.
• The London numbers include 8 members of the mother province of the Greyfriars, who will be visiting for meetings unrelated to the anniversary events. So, for a sense of locals subtract 8.
