Royal Kentish Camino

A message from Revd Stuart Huntley

I am an ordained priest in the Exeter Diocese, and was baptised at St Mary and St Eanswythe’s, Folkestone and confirmed at St Mary and St Ethelburga’s, Lyminge, so both these churches hold a special place in my heart, and have been instrumental in my journey of faith.

I am expecting to take on a new post in October and thought walking the Camino as a pilgrimage would not only be a good retreat prior to starting, but would also help promote this new route. I am proposing to do this wearing medieval clothing. I will be fund raising along the way raising money for the local churches and Pete’s Dragon a charity that supports families impacted by suicide, in memory of friend whose funeral I took recently. It would be great for people to join me for sections on the walk and the services.

The services are as follows:

• 11th October at 6pm - Compline @St Mary the Virgin Elham in the Jesus Chapel
• 12th October at 8am - Said Eucharist BCP @St Mary the Virgin Elham
• 12th October at 10am - Holy Communion @ St Marys & St Ethelburga Lyminge
• 12th October at 2pm - Prayers during the Day @Paddlesworth
