The photographs show the Prince Edward Island diocesan youth pilgrimage to St. Paul's. The Celtic parish crosses shown in the images were patterned on Diocesan crosses carried by "hard way" pilgrims from the Welsh Youth Pilgrimage of 1955.

Photograph 0057 C shows the pilgrims arriving at St. Paul's Church. Canon Robert Tuck (Rector of Summerside and St Eleanor's) is on the right and Reverend Jacques Smith (rector of New London) on the left.
