CHARLOTTE — Bishop Peter Jugis invites all youth of the diocese in middle school and high school to join him for the Bishop’s Youth Pilgrimage Saturday, April 9, at Belmont Abbey College in Belmont.
This event, designed just for young people, will be held in person after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Bishop’s Youth Pilgrimage allows youth an opportunity to experience a fun day of music, reflection, prayer, formation, vocation awareness and fellowship.
A component of the annual Eucharistic Congress, the Bishop’s Youth Pilgrimage shares the annual Eucharistic Congress theme for 2022, based on the theme for the Diocese of Charlotte’s 50th anniversary: “Faith More Precious Than Gold,” from 1 Peter 1:7.
The day’s events will include live music from singer/songwriter Dana Catherine, keynote speaker Emily Wilson, a vocations fair, motivational speakers for middle-school and high school tracks, Eucharistic Adoration, Mass and lunch. The sacrament of reconciliation will also be available.
All events will take place in front of the abbey basilica, weather permitting.
