Pilgrimage to Canterbury

From July 23 to August 4, 2010, the Choir of Saint James' led a parish pilgrimage "Retracing our Anglican Heritage." The tour began on our Patronal Feast Day of Saint James' singing Evensong at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, and continued with evensong services at some of England's most important historical sites including Wells Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and finally the seat of the Anglican Communion, Canterbury Cathedral.
