Every year the senior class will get the opportunity to attend a pilgrimage to Rome. The Chesterton Schools Network 2025 pilgrimage is particularly special because it will not be repeated for another 25 years! Next year we are joining tens of millions of Catholics on pilgrimage to Rome for the 2025 Jubilee, an event that regularly takes place every quarter of a century. The Jubilee Year presents each pilgrim with the opportunity to obtain a plenary indulgence as they pass through the Holy Doors of the Papal Basilicas of Rome. Indeed, we will go one step further and celebrate daily Mass in these great churches, offering our prayers and desires to God and asking the intercession of His saints and martyrs laid to rest in these very places. This is an experience that will remain with each pilgrim forever.
Please join us in praying for our senior as they prepare their hearts, minds, and body:
Lord, we pray for the upcoming Rome pilgrimage of our senior class and their chaperones. Lord, be their guide and their protector on the journey they are about to take. Watch over them. Protect them from accidents. Keep them free from harm to body and soul. Lord, support them with Your grace when they are tired. Help them be patient in any trouble which may come their way. Keep them always mindful of Your presence and love. Lord may this pilgrimage further nurture their fellowship as they see each other as brothers and sisters sharing the journey to your blessed kingdom. And Lord during this pilgrimage grant them the graces to cultivate a life of prayer that draws them closer to you and deepens their relationship with you. Amen.
