St. Cuthbert Mayne Church, Launceston

National Shrine of St Cuthbert Mayne and Diocese of Plymouth Place of Pilgrimage for the Year of Jubilee. 

The Jubilee Year is a time to reestablish our relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation. The Jubilee Year, will be a year of hope for our world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our climate in crisis.


May this Jubilee Year be for you a time of reflection, of new insight, and of a deepening of your relationship with the Lord. May our love be a witness to those who may feel lost or hopeless, and may it encourage them on their pilgrimage to find the way, the truth and the life.
Canon Paul Cummins, Diocese Administrator  

In this Jubilee Year – a special year of forgiveness and reconciliation, in which people are invited to come back into right relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation, Plymouth Diocese has launched a new Pilgrims of Hope passport inviting pilgrims to visit four historically and spiritually significant churches in Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset:
St Mary & St Boniface, Cathedral Church of Plymouth
St Cuthbert Mayne, Launceston
