In 2025 as you may know the Vatican is having their Jubilee year. “Now the time has come for a new Jubilee, when once more the Holy Door will be flung open to invite everyone to an intense experience of the love of God”
On April 28-30, 2025 there will be a special pilgrimage for people with disabilities to the Holy Door, with Catechesis, Reconciliation, Meeting with Pope Francis and Cultural events during these 3 days. Be sure to check out their webpage and register to participate. We would love to see you in Rome.
