Jubilee of Youth (ROME)

Details

About the event

We have only no spaces remaining on this pilgrimage, but we would welcome your prayers for our pilgrims as we embark on this important journey!

The Church celebrates a Jubilee Year every 25 years, spending an entire year celebrating every member of its body and their role in his great plan for salvation. From 28 July – 3 August, the light of celebration falls on the world’s Catholic youth, inviting them to the Church’s mother house, the Vatican.

Pope Francis invites us all to Rome to join him in this great pilgrimage of HOPE.

As young people, you are indeed the joyful hope of the Church and of a humanity always on the move. I would like to take you by the hand and walk with you on the path of hope. I would like to speak with you about our joys and hopes, but also of our sorrows and concerns, and those of all our brothers and sisters in the human family (cf. Gaudium et Spes, 1).

The Pilgrimage

Our Jubilee pilgrimage (28 July – 4 August) is going to take us on an impressive journey with some of our best-loved young saints, beginning in Turin and finishing in Rome.

We start off in Turin, the home of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (soon to be canonised!).

We then pass through Sassello, the home of Blessed Chiara Badano, and then Assisi, the hometown of Blessed Carlo Acutis (also soon to be canonised).

Our pilgrimage culminates in Rome, where we will join with young Catholics from all over the world for the celebration of the Jubilee of Youth.
