Teenagers’ and Young Adults’ Jubilee Pilgrimages

Webmaster • December 28, 2024

In addition to the Diocesan Jubilee pilgrimage to Rome in June, the Youth Council are organising two pilgrimages for our young people for the Jubilee Year. I have been asked to pass on the following information: - Teenagers’ pilgrimage to Rome & Assisi – 24th-27th April 2025: An exciting opportunity for young people aged 12-17 to participate in a pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi for the Canonisation of Bl Carlo Acutis. We hope that representatives from across the Archdiocese can be invited from amongst our deaneries.


The group will depart from Heathrow on April 24th and return on April 27th, with the following key highlights: - - - - The Holy Doors of the four Papal basilicas in Rome; Basilicas of St Francis, St Clare, & St Mary of the Angels in Assisi; Veneration of the relics of Bl. Carlo Acutis; Mass with the Holy Father for the Canonisation of Bl. Carlo Acutis A full itinerary is attached to this Ad Clerum. The Archdiocese has secured two spaces per deanery for teenagers to join this spiritual journey. The cost of the pilgrimage is £949 per person. We kindly ask each deanery to invite two participants and submit their names by the second week of January. This is a wonderful opportunity for our young people to deepen their faith and witness this historic moment. Your support in encouraging and selecting participants is greatly appreciated.
