Youth Pilgrimage to Rome

Youth Pilgrimage to Rome

Young friends aged 16 to 30,

we invite you on a pilgrimage to Rome, which will take place from July 28 to August 3, 2025. The Jubilee year offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience that God's holiness can transform us, that we can renew our relationship with God and with others. This opportunity is offered to each of us. Why not take advantage of it? In the words of a participant from the meeting in Lisbon: "To all the young people who will ever have the chance, I definitely recommend going to such a meeting, it’s truly a powerful experience! We are young only once, and what we experience today, we will carry in our hearts forever."
