Diocese of Angoulême to host itinerant pilgrimage

The Diocese of Angoulême is conducting a five-day itinerant pilgrimage across the five deaneries of Charente from October 20 to 24, 2026. Organized by the Diocesan Pilgrimage Service, the event includes walking, prayer, the Eucharist, and communal exchanges.

The first day of the pilgrimage took place on Tuesday, October 20, in the Grand-Angoulême deanery. Participants walked from the Saint-Cybard church to the Saint-Cybard grotto to celebrate the Eucharist. During a stop at Saint-Jacques de l’Houmeau, the bishop spoke to the group about the Christian duty to walk toward holiness.
