Canterbury Cathedral Pilgrimage


Our choirs served as the visiting choir at Canterbury Cathedral in August of 2025. It was an amazing and spirit-filled week. Here are some photos, a video recap and some personal reflections from choir members.


Our travels TO Canterbury were, to say the least, difficult. We were scheduled to depart on the evening of Saturday, August 9, and arrive in Canterbury in time to attend Evensong that Sunday evening. Our flight was canceled after waiting over four hours.


Next, we returned the following day on Sunday, August 10, to take a flight that was "added" to accommodate those who were left out the night before. That flight was canceled as well.


Now despondent and very disappointed, we regrouped and returned to the airport a third time on Monday, August 11. This time we actually took-off arriving in Canterbury two days late and missing our first Evensong on Monday. We hear they prayed for us at an Even"speak" that day with hopes remaining for our arrival.


We arrived in Canterbury on Tuesday, August 12, exhausted and with just enough time to unload our luggage at the hotel and rush to the Cathedral for our first a 5:30pm Evensong.


A video recap of the trip will be coming soon.
