From 3–11 September 2026, Fr Tom Cunnah will undertake a remarkable nine-day pilgrimage across the Diocese of Shrewsbury, walking approximately 130 miles in thanksgiving for ten years of priestly ministry.
Walking for Families. Praying for Vocations. Giving Thanks Together.
Inspired by the words of St Paul in Ephesians 3, The Dimensions of Love will take Fr Tom across the breadth, length, height and depth of our Diocese — a journey of thanksgiving, prayer and hope.

Along the way, Fr Tom will pray particularly for vocations, giving thanks for his own calling to the priesthood and inviting others to consider how God may be calling them to love and serve.
The pilgrimage will also raise awareness and funds for the work of Caritas Diocese of Shrewsbury, helping us continue to walk alongside children and families across our communities with practical support, compassion and hope.
You don’t need walking boots to join the pilgrimage!
A special Dimensions of Love Pilgrim’s Novena has been created offering a way for people throughout the Diocese and beyond to accompany Fr Tom during each of the nine days.
Beginning on 3 September, each day explores a different dimension of the journey:
Breadth • Length • Height • Depth • Walking Together • Serving Others • Answering God’s Call • Thanksgiving • Sent Forth
Each includes a short Scripture passage, reflection, intention, prayer and simple action.

Thanks for all the lovely messages.
14km in and this is lunch on day 1 after a beautiful Mass at West Kirby this morning.
