Despite arriving at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bend Despite arriving at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bendigo cold and wet, spirits were high as we concluded the 2026 Christus Rex Pilgrimage.

It was a joy to see so many pilgrims walking together in honour of Christ the King, with good spirits and perseverance even when the weather was less than kind!

A heartfelt thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who worked tirelessly before, during and after the Pilgrimage to make this year’s event possible. From catering and logistics to safety, music, liturgy and everything in between, we simply could not do it without your generosity and dedication.

We would love to hear your feedback! Whether you have reflections on this year’s Pilgrimage or suggestions for how we can improve next year, please take a few minutes to complete our feedback form:
