Help Imelda's Dream Pilgrimage to the JUBILEE in Rome

I’m reaching out to our friends, family, and wider community to help make something truly special happen for someone incredibly dear to me—my mom, Imelda Wennstrom.

At 74 years old, Imelda is full of life, purpose, and devotion. She’s been a steady pillar of faith and service in her church community (the one I grew up with) for decades. She leads with heart, with music, and with so much love!

Each week, Imee serves as a dedicated sacristan, sings in the church choir, and devotes countless hours to volunteering—from preparing the altar to supporting the food kitchen and helping behind the scenes in every way she can. Her love for her church is the kind that shows up, day after day, year after year.

This year, she has a chance to go on a pilgrimage that she’s only dreamed of: a journey to Switzerland and Italy with her church, culminating in the 2025 Jubilee celebration in Rome!

This trip is more than a vacation—it’s a sacred journey of faith, music, community, and spiritual renewal. It’s also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I want more than anything to help her get there!

The total cost of the trip is $8,000, and because my mom is on a limited fixed income, we need to raise it by the end of May to secure her spot and make it happen.

Can you help?

If Imelda has touched your life through her warmth, her voice, her devotion, or her presence in my life growing up, please consider contributing. Every gift (large or small!) brings her closer to this dream. And if you’re unable to give financially, your prayers, blessings, and shares are deeply appreciated.

Let’s help send this incredible woman to Rome for a moment she will never forget!!!
