Overview
To be a pilgrim is a privileged opportunity to be present with the Holy Father and fellow pilgrims in praying together and celebrating the Church’s liturgy.
You are also representing your local community and you will return renewed, taking home the experience and message of the Holy Father.
It is hoped that you will be enriched by your Pilgrim Journey and that you will be sustained in your faith.
To help everyone make the most of this unique Visit these notes have been prepared to offer general guidance. Please read them in conjunction with the more detailed information that you will receive from your Pilgrim Leader.
A pilgrim is a person who undertakes a journey to a sacred place or event as an act of religious devotion.
Pilgrimage should be a lasting and deeply spiritual experience but this will not be so unless it is approached in the right spirit.
We are making our way forward towards God as one family under his guidance and inspiration. Therefore we need to prepare for our pilgrimage by prayer, reflection and above all, a deep and sincere desire to find God and to love Him more deeply.
