About New Pilgrim Path
WHO ARE WE?
We are a team of two Irish people, Helen Gallivan, a recruitment consultant and editor living in Dun Laoghaire and John Dundon, a retired teacher living in Co Wicklow.
We met at a Christian meditation group, part of the ecumenical World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM). As our group exchanged information about interesting websites they had visited, the idea came to the two of us that the wealth of inspiring online resources we had found could and should be shared more widely. This is how the website came about.
NEW PILGRIM PATH was launched on the 1st Sunday of Advent in 2016. We now have visitors from across the world.
Our aim is to share with our fellow pilgrims of all Christian denominations - in Ireland and across the globe - some of the rich resources we have found and continue to find. They are very varied – daily prayer, online retreats, sacred music, inspiring reflections and poetry, among others. The aim is to help visitors to New Pilgrim Path find websites that are likely to be relevant and interesting to them. We refresh some pages weekly – featuring a different website, poem and piece of sacred music. You can ask to receive a weekly notification by clicking Contact New Pilgrim Path.
We hope that NEW PILGRIM PATH will help you as you seek encounter with the person of Christ, the Word of God, in our midst.
