Cluster Parishes of Portsmouth and Chesapeake

Gain an indulgence! 

Join us on August 13th for a 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope pilgrimage to

The National Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, Williamsburg

The idea of pilgrimages and indulgences is central to jubilee years. According to the “Decree on the Granting of the Indulgence during the Oridinary Jubilee Year 2025", “the faithful, pilgrims of hope, will be able to obtain the Jubilee Indulgence granted by the Holy Father if they undertake a pious pilgrimage” to any designated jubilee site.

Our planned pilgrimage includes bus transportation, a tour and Mass, concelebrated by one of our Fathers.

Please pack your own bagged lunch and we will provide drinks.

Bus departs Resurrection @ 9am and returns by 3:45 pm.

Cost: $20
