Journey with us
Join us on a Jubilee Pilgrimage from the Birthplace of Saint Francis to the Chair of Saint Peter.
The Catholic Church celebrates a Jubilee year every 25 years, as a time for prayer, reconciliation and liturgy, and a pilgrimage culminating in the crossing of the Holy Door, along with the achievement of extra indulgences allotted by the Church for this year.
During this Jubilee year 2025, the Church of Rome furnishes extraordinary hospitality and amenities in anticipation of pilgrims. Rome comes alive all year long, bustles with a special fervor for the Faith and saints. A jubilee year is truly the best time to go on pilgrimage to Rome. Learn more about the Jubilee preparations here.
