Pilgrimage to Italy
Jubilee Year 2025
Sacred Heart Parish
Led by Fr. Gerard Francik, Pastor
12-Day Pilgrimage to Italy | October 19–30, 2025
Dear Friends,
I’d 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! Our pilgrimage will begin in Sicily, home to some of Europe's most important ancient Greek sites, the most active volcano in Europe, and some of Italy's most intriguing architecture and tastiest food. We’ll visit Palermo, Monreale, Agrigento, Syracuse, and Catania.
Then it’s on to the Amalfi Coast and surrounding sites such as Pompeii. We’ll continue to the “Eternal City,” where we will celebrate Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica and the other major Papal Basilicas of Rome, entering through their Holy Doors. The special blessing of receiving a Plenary Indulgence will be ours from going through the Holy Door at St. Peter’s that is only opened for Jubilee years! We will also have an opportunity to go to Assisi where we’ll grow closer to St. Francis and St. Clare and visit the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis before leaving out 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. Please consider joining us!
Fr. Jerry Francik
