To celebrate our parish 100th Anniversary, I’d like to invite you on a great adventure. Let’s make a pilgrimage to Assisi, Florence, Rome, and Bolsena - the hometown of St. Christina. Come and find yourself face-to-face with the living story of our Catholic Church. Pray and shout for joy at an audience with our very own Pope Leo XIV. Grow closer to St. Christina as we visit her grave and hometown.

Learn to love Sts. Peter & Paul, Sts. Francis and Clare, St. John Paul II, St. Carlo Acutis, and many more saints as we visit their homes and churches. And, of course, grow closer to Jesus Christ as we pray daily at amazing churches and shrines created in His honor. From the major basilicas of Rome to simple roadside shrines, on our pilgrimage you will store up countless experiences that will invigorate your faith and offer lifelong inspiration.

Our 100th Anniversary Pilgrimage will be traveling through Italy from September 16-25, 2026. There will be an information session about our pilgrimage on Sunday, July 27 at 11:30 AM in the Parish Center. I can assure you that this pilgrimage will be an experience to be remembered. There will be a lot of laughs, a lot of joy, a lot of memories, and a lot of God’s grace.
