The Christus Rex Pilgrimage is a labour of love – organised entirely by volunteers, without staff, offices, or major sponsors. Each year, hundreds of pilgrims walk from Ballarat to Bendigo to honour the Kingship of Christ. Behind the scenes, a small group of volunteers work year-round to make this possible.

Registration fees are kept as low as possible to ensure the Pilgrimage remains accessible to all. However, these fees do not cover all the costs. We rely on the generosity of benefactors and pilgrims to make up the shortfall – for essential items such as first aid, buses, hire costs, equipment and insurance.

Your donation helps us:

  • Keep registration fees affordable for families and students
  • Provide safe, well-organised logistics and support services
  • Plan for the future and grow this important apostolate

Whether you’re a pilgrim, past participant, or simply someone who believes in the mission of Christus Rex, your gift – no matter the size – will make a meaningful difference.

Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat!
The Christus Rex Pilgrimage takes its name from th The Christus Rex Pilgrimage takes its name from the Feast of Christ the King, established by Pope Pius XI in 1925.

In Quas Primas, Pius XI reminded the world that Christ is King not only of our individual hearts, but of our families, our societies and our nations.

This is why we make the pilgrimage each year for the Feast of Christ the King: as a public profession of our faith, an act of reparation, and a call to conversion, both for ourselves and for our nation.

Christus Rex - Christ the King
