In this Jubilee Year, we celebrate “Pilgrims of Hope” and are called to take a pilgrimage to visit a designated Jubilee site. Elizabeth Ministry International’s Zechariah House is hosting a one day pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We invite your parish to gather as a group and load buses at St. Katherine Drexel in Kaukauna, WI for this prayerful pilgrimage.

Two opportunities: July 15th and September 6th.
