What is the Archbishop’s Youth and Young Adult Pilgrimage?
Archbishop William Lori invites all high school age youth to attend the Pilgrimage.
For the past twenty years, hundreds of youth from the Archdiocese of Baltimore have
commemorated Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week by
walking in the Archbishop’s Youth Pilgrimage. Carrying palms and a cross, young
pilgrims have walked through the streets of the City of Baltimore. The young church
will again bear witness to their love of Jesus Christ, pray, and celebrate on Saturday,
March 19, 2016. The total walk is a little less than 5 miles. We will leave from
(parish/school) at _____AM and return at _____PM after Mass.
Who should attend?
High School Youth! Those who went last year had a wonderful day! We want to invite
you to attend as well, and if you cannot attend, please pray for your child in a special
way during their Pilgrimage experience.
What is the cost?
