Ireland Pilgrimage
12:00am-12:00am
Dublin
This 2021 Ireland Pilgrimage has been canceled due the current situation with COVID-19 in Ireland and the continued impact and complications caused by the coronavirus to safely travel and run pilgrimages.
Instead, consider traveling on our diocesan pilgrimage to World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal with our own Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades. The exact dates have not yet been released by Pope Francis, but it is anticipated to take place in August 2023. Join us then!
_______________________
Itching to travel or looking for an adventure? Searching for more direction from God in your life? Then this pilgrimage is for you! We’re teaming up with Verso Ministries to explore the faith, culture, and countryside of the Irish people.
The original plan was to travel in the summer of 2020, but Covid did not allow that, so we’re rescheduled for 2021. There are a limited amount of funding assistance available for early registration, so don’t delay!
