Pilgrimage to Italy
8th Annual Choral Festival During Christmas Season in the Vatican
Youth Program
Led by Dr. Jennifer Pascual, Dr. John Romeri, and Ms. Lauren McCaul
2025 Jubilee Year | December 28, 2024 – January 5, 2025
Dear Young Singers:
We are excited to extend this invitation to you to join us for the 8th Annual Youth Choir Festival during Christmas Season in the Vatican! We will celebrate Christmas with our families at home. Then, we will travel to Rome to celebrate the season in Vatican City! We will arrive in Rome ahead of New Year’s Eve. It is the Holy Father’s custom to visit the Nativity scene in St. Peter’s Square following First Vespers for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God—and we will be there, awaiting his blessing, prepared to spontaneously sing our most treasured Christmas Carols!
A highlight of our pilgrimage will be attending a Papal Mass on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God! What a beautiful way to enter the Jubilee Year. During our pilgrimage, you’ll see young people from all over the world gathered in Rome to participate in activites of the Christmas season. You will join your voices with other young singers throughout our time together. This will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the sites, tastes, and sounds of Rome, and the enchanting streets of Assisi.
As the scheduling of musical details and preparations are underway, we hope you will consider joining us for this joyous festival, including many wonderful performance opportunities bound to lift our hearts and voices in great joy!
Dr. John Romeri, Dr. Jennifer Pascual, and Lauren McCaul
