BELMONT — Bishop Peter Jugis invites all middle and high school youth of the diocese to join him for the Bishop’s Youth Pilgrimage on Saturday, March 25, at Belmont Abbey College.
The Bishop’s Youth Pilgrimage provides young people a fun day of music, reflection, prayer, formation, vocation awareness and fellowship.
A component of the annual Eucharistic Congress, the day begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m.
“The Bishop’s Youth Pilgrimage is such a wonderful opportunity for hundreds of young people from around the diocese to come together around the Holy Eucharist,” says Chris Beal, director of catechetical formation for the Diocese of Charlotte. “We are one diocese, one family, and the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Christian Life.”
Activities will include live music from Catholic songwriter Tori Harris Gray, a keynote speaker to be announced, motivational speakers for middle and high school tracks, Eucharistic Adoration, Mass and lunch. The sacrament of reconciliation will also be available.
