Together Manhattan
Saturday, September 30, 2023
POSTPONED TO OCTOBER 28
An ecumenical pilgrimage walking the length of Manhattan Island.
See the city unfurl beneath your feet, meet others, share conversation and food and experiences, and pray as you go!
Rain or shine, so come prepared! Bring a picnic lunch and any snacks you may need to keep you going. Good shoes essential.
There will be a lot of walking but we'll make 3-4 stops on the day to visit different churches, and we'll be walking past some of NYC's best-known landmarks, so there will be plenty to see.
Join us for the whole or part of the day - drop in and out as you wish. Below are the key timings, let us know you’re coming so we can keep you up to date about the route! RSVP here
