Annual Pilgrimage in South Africa’s Queenstown Diocese to Adopt Synod on Synodality Theme

The Diocese of Queenstown in South Africa will hold its annual pilgrimage on Saturday, October 10, at the Sacred Heart Qoqodala Parish. Bishop Siphiwo Devilliers Paul Vanqa announced that the event will adopt the theme of the Synod on Synodality to encourage the faithful to walk together and work for the betterment of the diocese.

The pilgrimage coincides with the feast of the Holy Rosary. Bishop Vanqa invited the people of God to attend the event in large numbers to foster unity and communion within the diocese.

Father Nkosingiphile Cyril Ngubane, who works at the diocesan synodal desk, said the pilgrimage serves to unite members of the local Church through a sacred journey. He noted that the theme reflects the call from Pope Francis to embrace the spirit of synodality and the Christian calling to walk together.
