For more than four decades, New Dawn has helped people encounter Jesus Christ through worship, prayer, teaching, fellowship and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Today, New Dawn Mission Days bring that experience directly into parishes and local communities, creating opportunities for people to deepen their faith, encounter the Lord, and be renewed in their relationship with Him.

A NEW SEASON OF MISSION
For many years, New Dawn gathered pilgrims from across the United Kingdom and beyond through its annual conference in Walsingham.
Following a time of prayer and discernment, we believe the Lord is calling us to bring the fruits of New Dawn more directly into local communities. While remaining deeply grateful for all that God has done through the conference, our focus is on responding to the opportunities for mission before us today.
Just as Joshua led God’s people into a new chapter of God’s purposes, New Dawn is stepping forward in faith, carrying the same vision into a new season of ministry.
WHAT IS A NEW DAWN MISSION DAY?
A New Dawn Mission Day is a parish-based day of renewal designed to strengthen faith, build community and encourage mission.
Drawing on the rich heritage of New Dawn, Mission Days include: Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, Praise and Worship, Keynote Talks, Prayer Ministry and Fellowship and Community Building.
Each Mission Day is delivered by the Prince of Peace Community team and tailored to the needs of the host parish or community. We provide experienced speakers, music ministry, and prayer ministry teams, working alongside local clergy and parish leaders to create a day of encounter, renewal and evangelisation.
SENT OUT ON MISSION
New Dawn began with a simple but profound call. While praying in Ars, France, in 1985, our founder, Myles Dempsey, asked the Lord, “This is France, what about England?” In response, he received the words: “New Dawn, Walsingham.“
From that moment, a vision was born that would touch thousands of lives through prayer, worship, evangelisation and renewal.
Today, that vision continues. Grateful for our roots in Walsingham and confident in God’s ongoing guidance, we are taking the New Dawn experience into parishes and communities across the country, helping people encounter Jesus Christ and grow in the life of His Church.
NEW DAWN EVENINGS
Alongside Mission Days, we run monthly New Dawn Evenings, offering ongoing opportunities for worship, teaching, prayer ministry and fellowship throughout the year.
