This year's Diocesan pilgrimages were a success, offering spiritual nourishment to various groups in our Diocese: High School students, English speakers, and Spanish speakers.

U.S. Pilgrimages:

Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, D.C.
Thursday, October 7, 2025 – The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

This pilgrimage is typically held every four years for all of the faithful of the Diocese. Planning has begun and more information will be released soon – stay tuned!

Many parishes, schools and organizations charter busses for this one-day pilgrimage. The Committee is here to help in the planning of the day for your parish or group. Email [email protected] with your requests or questions.
