UK Ultreya 2022
Cursillistas of the Diocese of Southwark and London are jointly hosting the National Ultreya in the capital city of London on 3 September 2022.
London is split into our two Dioceses; south of the river Thames is Southwark, overseen by Bishop Christopher Chessun; north of the river is London, overseen by Bishop Sarah Mullally.
The National Ultreya begins with a welcome and prayers from +Sarah prior to the Walk of Witness from the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral. We then cross the river Thames over the Millennium Bridge towards the Tate Modern, before passing Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and the Golden Hind on route to the Millennium Court at Southwark Cathedral. As we walk along the riverside, we can see the Gherkin, the Scalpel, the Walky-Talky and the Cheese-Grater.
