Pilgrimage to Italy
Jubilee Year 2025
St. James, St. Peter, and St. Theresa Parishes
Led by Fr. Jordan Berghouse, Pastor
10-Day Pilgrimage to Italy | February 19–28, 2025
Dear Friends,
I would like to personally invite you, your family, and your friends to join us on this Jubilee pilgrimage to Italy’s greatest cities and special places dear to Christian hearts! We’ll begin our pilgrimage in Assisi, where we’ll walk in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare and pray near the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis, the young Catholic from Italy who had a passionate devotion to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
We’ll continue to San Giovanni Rotondo, where Padre Pio celebrated Mass, and venerate and pray near his body in the new Church of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. Our journey will have us stop in Monte Cassino to see the 5th century Abbey, founded by St. Benedict in 529, before reaching Rome, our final destination. We will attend the Holy Father’s general audience, celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, and walk through the Holy Door to receive a plenary indulgence. We’ll visit the sacred sites of our Catholic faith, including the Sistine Chapel and the Papal Basilicas of Rome. Best of all, we will be celebrating our faith, forming deeper bonds of friendship, and enjoying the food and customs of another culture. There is nothing like sharing such experiences with friends and family in faith. Please consider joining us!
