Parish­ioners from St Philip and St James RC Church re­cent­ly went on a pil­grim­age to Our La­dy of Montser­rat RC Church in Tor­tu­ga, which has been des­ig­nat­ed as a 2025 Ju­bilee Cen­tral Vic­ari­ate Sa­cred Site.

The pil­grims set off via maxi-taxi car­a­van from Ch­agua­nas just be­fore 6 am on the morn­ing of Jan­u­ary 19th and ven­tured to the rus­tic vil­lage of Tor­tu­ga.

There, they par­tic­i­pat­ed in the Mass of­fi­ci­at­ed by Fa­ther Shi­jomon “Abra­ham” Zacharias and dea­con Tris­ton Mathu­ra.

The pil­grims then en­joyed some fam­i­ly time, which in­clud­ed tak­ing in the breath­tak­ing view of the Point Fortin In­dus­tri­al Es­tate from the Montser­rat Hill, be­fore re­turn­ing to their parish.

This was con­sid­ered the first of jour­neys to the eight holy sites across T&T to cel­e­brate the Ju­bilee Year.
