The diocesan community of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Catanzaro-Squillace is preparing to live a moment of intense spirituality on the occasion of the jubilee pilgrimage of the Vicaries of Catanzaro Centro and Catanzaro Nord, scheduled for Sunday 25 May 2025.
The event is part of the context of the jubilee celebrations promoted by the Diocesan Church and represents an important opportunity for prayer, communion and reconciliation for all the faithful of the diocese.
The pilgrimage program will open at 5 pm with the Peregrinorum Station at the Rosary’s Retoria Church, where the gathering and welcome of the pilgrims from the two vicar will be held. At this moment it will also be possible to participate in the penitential celebration and receive the sacrament of confession.
At 18:15, the pilgrims will start in prayer, united under the title of “Pilgrims of Hope”, heading towards the Basilica, a jubilee church, in a path of faith and sharing.
The heart of the event will be the Eucharistic celebration that will begin at 18:30 at the Basilica Maria SS. Immaculate, and will be chaired by ser Msgr. Claudio Maniago, Archbishop of Catanzaro-Squillace.
On the occasion of the jubilee pilgrimage of Vicaria at the Basilica, it will be possible to obtain plenary indulgence to the usual conditions established by the Church: sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer according to the intentions of the Holy Father.
The pilgrimage represents a privileged opportunity to rediscover one’s faith, live the sense of ecclesial belonging and testify to Christian hope in the heart of the community.
