January Epiphany Pilgrimage<br />
Enjoy the beauty of the Blue Mountains while you celebrate, pray and reflect during the Epiphany Pilgrimage<br />
and Fiesta from 2 to 8 January 2023. Beginning at Our Lady of the Way Parish, Emu Plains, you will spend<br />
the next seven days walking bush tracks and trails to reach the top of the Blue Mountains. Along the way,<br />
experience the overwhelming hospitality of the six Blue Mountains parish communities who host the group for<br />
a festive meal each night. The event is open to all fitness levels: walk the entire 100kms, join for a day walk or<br />
maybe just drop in for the evening festivities.<br />

religious life also celebrated big milestones. Read<br />
