This year marks the 800th anniversary of St. Dominic’s Order of Preachers coming to England. To celebrate the occasion, starting Aug. 1 and going through Aug. 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption, four Dominican friars are undertaking a 225-mile pilgrimage walk from Kent to Oxford. This is in honor of the original journey undertaken in 1221 by Prior Gilbert of Fresney and his companions.
