Welcome to your Jubilee pilgrimage portal! The theme for the 2025 Holy Year is "Pilgrims of Hope." Your faith will be enriched by coming on this incredible once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage which includes the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis!

Carlo will become the first canonized "millennial" saint, and he challenges each of us to become saints too! Carlo shows us the road to sainthood through the Holy Eucharist: "When we face the sun we get a tan . . . but when we stand before Jesus in the Eucharist we become saints."

Other highlights of your pilgrimage include journeying to Assisi, passing through the Holy Doors of the four major basilicas in Rome, and witnessing the strength and vibrancy of our Faith through the lives of the saints and apostles with pilgrims from around the world.
