Pilgrimages of Hope
For Creation
Join in this year of pilgrimage: Be a Pilgrim of Hope
Pilgrimages of Hope
Creation is a sacrament of God’s love for us.
Do we love God’s creation with the same love that God does?
During this Jubilee year, 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.
We invite you to walk with us by hosting and/or joining a pilgrimage of hope for creation during the Season of Creation—September 1-October 4.

A MESSAGE FROM HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS
The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change.
