Pilgrimage to the Jubilee 2025 in Rome

From September 5–16, 2025, we embarked on a pilgrimage to Italy filled with grace and hope, traveling through some of the country's most significant Catholic sanctuaries. Throughout these 12 days, we experienced profound spiritual moments in Rome, San Giovanni Rotondo, Assisi, and Loreto, following in the footsteps of saints who shaped the history of faith.

Historic Moments

Our journey began in Rome, the heart of the Church, where we witnessed a historic moment: the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati in St. Peter's Square. From there, we traveled to San Giovanni Rotondo to encounter the life and legacy of Padre Pio, visiting the places where he celebrated the Eucharist, heard confessions, and where his incorrupt remains rest, in an atmosphere of prayer, adoration, and contemplation.

Sacred Sanctuaries Visited

In Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, Saint Clare, and Saint Carlo Acutis, we immersed ourselves in Franciscan spirituality, walking through its basilicas and participating in retreats that invite us to rediscover simplicity and surrender. We continued to Loreto, where the Holy House reminded us of Mary's living presence, accompanying us in moments of communal prayer and interior silence.

Jubilee Experience

Finally, we returned to Rome to pass through the Holy Doors of the Major Basilicas—St. Peter's, St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major, and St. Paul Outside the Walls—and participate in liturgical celebrations with the Holy Father during the Jubilee of Consolation. Each day was an opportunity for encounter with God, with ourselves, and with the community of pilgrims who share the same faith and hope.
