Support Local Youth on Pilgrimage to Rome for Jubilee 2025

"Dear young people, I am inviting you to set out on a journey, to discover life along the path of love, and to seek the face of God." -Pope Francis, 2024

As youth from the local parish of the Archdiocese of Washington , we are excited to participate in the Church's Great Jubilee 2025.

We seek to take part of this journey together in pilgrimage to Rome, Italy in July 2025. As the pilgrimages in the past, this pilgrimage opportunity brings us closer to our call as Christians, to experience love, forgiveness and continue our discovery of the power that God's mercy has on our lives and all the lives we encounter.

In preparation to this Great Jubilee event, Pope Francis has called us to be part of the pilgrimage of life and its challenges, be pilgrims in the desert, set out as pilgrims not tourist, and be pilgrims in hope of the mission. With great excitement and eagerness we have embarked this calling by doing events, fundraisers, and working hard to gather the funds necessary to attend this pilgrimage.

We thank you for your generosity in supporting our pilgrimage expenses and allowing all our youth to attend this important event. Your contribution helps to cover transportation, lodging and basic needs during our time in pilgrimage. Again, we are very grateful for your generosity and please know you will travel with us in our prayers!
