Cork and Ross Jubilee of Youth Pilgrims
The Cork and Ross pilgrims joined over 600 young people from across Ireland for the first Irish Catechesis session of the Rome Jubilee of Youth.
The gathering was led by Bishop Robert Barron, renowned Catholic influencer and founder of Word on Fire.
Bishop Barron encouraged the Irish pilgrims to return home with the spirit and mission of St Patrick to spread the faith in new ways in these times. The session concluded with the celebration of Mass, presided over by Bishop Barron.
In the afternoon, the group visited the Basilica of St Mary Major, where they entered through their second Holy Door of the Jubilee pilgrimage. While they were there, the group had the opportunity to pray at the tomb of the late Pope Francis.
