Pilgrimages of Hope for Creation
During this Jubilee year, join us as Pilgrims of Hope for Creation! Catholic communities across the United States are coming together to organize local Catholic pilgrimages—including Laudato Si’ pilgrimages, Jubilee pilgrimages, and Jubilee of Hope pilgrimages—as sacred opportunities to pray for the grace to encounter Christ in Creation and renew our relationships with God, the Earth, and one another.
View www.catholicpilgrimsofhope.org for more information on the greater movement.
Contact Jillian Foster [email protected] for more information on pilgrimages in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
The pilgrimages are free but donations are appreciated!
