‍Save the Date | Jonathan Daniels Pilgrimage

A cohort of parishioners from Saint Andrew's will attend the annual Jonathan Myrick Daniels & Martyrs of Alabama Pilgrimage, and you're heartily invited to join us.

Date: Saturday, August 15, 2026
Location: Lowndes County Courthouse Square (1 South Washington Street, Hayneville, AL 36040)
Time: 11:00am - 2:00pm

This year is the 60th anniversary of Daniels' martyrdom. We will gather in the courthouse square in Hayneville, Alabama, and begin our pilgrimage procession at 11:00am. The procession will travel from the square to the old County Jail where Daniels was among those detained for a week after being arrested in Fort Deposit for picketing white-only businesses. The procession continues to the site of the old Varner’s Cash Store, where Daniels was killed. The procession ends in the Lowndes County Courthouse, where a service of Holy Communion will be celebrated in the courtroom where the man who shot Daniels had been tried and acquitted by an all-white jury.
