Pope Francis invited all people to make a Pilgrimage of Hope during this Jubilee Year, to encounter Christ in creation and restore our relationships with God, creation, and one another. Rooted in Laudato Si’, it underscores the moral responsibility of caring for the earth, a principle of Catholic Social Teaching.
A provincial pilgrimage committee has developed materials for your use and has communicated with the community leadership teams at residences and care facilities about conducting pilgrimages appropriate for their specific realities. Read the committee’s letter to the province, which offers creative ways for making your Pilgrimage of Hope in community or alone during the Season of Creation, September 1 – October 4, or by December 31, 2025, the end of the Jubilee Year.
