Reparation Pilgrimage in Rome
Come and see! Jesus’ invitation to his disciples is given to us as well to come and see why the ancient tradition of making a pilgrimage remains so important in our Christian faith. For nearly two millennia Christians have traveled to holy sites to walk the paths that our ancestors-in-faith walked before us, to see what they saw. That is why Father Stephen Stanbery will be leading a pilgrimage on February 10 – 19, 2019 to enjoy the beautiful sites of Rome, Assisi, Montecassino and Pompeii. We would like you to join us on this sacred walk of faith. You will assuredly experience the presence of God in the many holy places that have played a central role in the life of the Church. Our pilgrimage is planned as a spiritual journey with daily Mass at various historic altars. Together, we will pray, discover new places, experience good Christian community, and deepen our awareness of the grace of God in our lives. This is a reparation pilgrimage designed especially during this time of trial. We must come together as a family of faith and beg the Lord for forgiveness and to offer reparation for the sins committed by priests, bishops and any member of the Church, especially the depraved sins against children and the vulnerable. It is also a time to ask God to heal those who have been wounded by sin, to turn our own hearts away from anything that is evil and to renew our commitment to holiness. Whether you’ve been to Italy three dozen times, or this is your first trip abroad, this pilgrimage is sure to make memories of a lifetime. We promise you that it will also expand your knowledge of the Church and deepen your faith. We hope you’ll join us in journeying through one of the most beautiful countries on earth, and visiting the heart of the Catholic Church – Rome.
