A pilgrimage is planned to Historic Jamestowne celebrating the rich history of Catholicism in Virginia. Mass will be celebrated at the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in Williamsburg. There is a fee of $50 per person which includes bus transportation, admission to Historic Jamestowne, and a box lunch. Knights and Dames may also drive themselves.
Please note that we will be visiting Historic Jamestowne, the Federal Park and archaeological site, and not Jamestown Settlement, which is a living-history museum with reenactment actors.
Our day will start in Historic Jamestowne with a lecture on recent archaeological discoveries that indicate a secret Catholic presence within the thoroughly Protestant Jamestowne. We will also have time to view artifacts and tour the museum.

1368 Colonial Pkwy

Our formal pilgrimage will conclude with the Rite of Reconciliation and Holy Mass.
