St Joseph's pilgrims spread hope for sick children

A GROUP of teachers and staff at a Dudley primary school took on a 22-mile pilgrimage to spread hope in honour of the Catholic Jubilee Year.

- 

Ten staff from St Joseph's Catholic Primary School laced up their trainers to walk St Chad's Way - a known pilgrimage route between St Chad's Cathedral in Birmingham, to Lichfield Cathedral.

The walkers stepped out and managed to raise over £1,960 for Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity.

The pilgrimage was part of the school's wider ongoing celebrations of the jubilee year, celebrated every 25 years.

CHARITY CHAMPIONS

This year's jubilee theme is Pilgrims of Hope, so the staff set themselves their own challenge to join the school's pupils who have taken on smaller pilgrimages and other themed activities throughout the jubilee year.
