Our parish along with our St. Benedict Forum which serves the community of Hope College, sent 20 pilgrims to this year's World Youth Day. They were gone from July 22 through August 2, 2016. They traveled to Rome and then on to Poland where they were joined by nearly 2 million pilgrims to celebrate our shared faith. The pilgrimage culminated with a Mass outdoors where the pilgrims traveled by foot to arrive and was celebrated by Pope Francis. Thank you to all those who were able to support them through prayer, financial donation, and/or other ways.

Our pilgrims will be speaking after each Mass the weekend of August 6 & 7, 2016. We will follow that up by posting videos here of them sharing their experiences.
