10-Day Pilgrimage to Italy | Jubilee 2025

Led by The Most Reverend Joseph R. Kopacz, Bishop of Jackson
Pilgrimage Coordinator: Ms. Mary Woodward, Chancellor

October 25–November 3, 2025


Dear Friends,

I would like to personally invite you, your family, and your friends to join us on this Jubilee pilgrimage to Italy’s greatest cities and special places dear to Christian hearts! Our pilgrimage will begin in Rome, the “Eternal City,” where we will go through the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica to receive a plenary indulgence during this Jubilee year. We will celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica and attend an audience with our Holy Father. We’ll visit the mountain-top monastery of Monte Cassino, the motherhouse of the Benedictine Order, and San Giovanni Rotondo, home of St. Padre Pio. Our stop in Lanciano will allow us to venerate the Eucharistic Miracle at the Church of St. Francis before concluding our pilgrimage in Assisi. Here, we’ll walk in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare and visit the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis.

Best of all, we will be celebrating our faith, forming deeper bonds of friendship, and enjoying the food and customs of another culture. There is nothing like sharing such experiences with friends and family in faith. Please consider joining us!

The Most Reverend Joseph R. Kopacz
