Let me begin by apologizing for not posting anything here in the last few months. No excuses - truth be told - other things have been capturing my attention. That is what we call life. Now to the point of today's post - read the title - Yes - tons of opportunities for everyone to experience this 2025 - Holy Year of Hope - proclaimed by the Pope. Many opportunities are close to home - located at nearby churches. In the Joliet Diocese in Illinois - my home parish of St. Patrick in Yorkville, IL has been designated as a Holy Year pilgrimage church in which parishioners and visitors may gain special indulgences.
In addition
I am leading a special Holy Year Pilgrimage to Poland - which I have labeled as the POLAND - Pilgrimage of Mercy. On this pilgrimage we will focus on the Divine Mercy Devotion as revealed by the Diary of St. Faustina who was canonized by St. Pope John Paul II. We will travel from Warsaw throughout Poland visiting sites relevant to Divine Mercy over the course of 9 days. Please see details below.
The pilgrimage will depart from Chicago, IL - if you are interested in joining this group space is still available. It will be a once in a lifetime experience!
