Evangelizing on the Streets of Rome!

Hundreds of thousands of young people will descend on Rome this summer for the Youth Jubilee. 

This is a MASSIVE moment for the church and an opportunity for evangelization for those young people visiting the Eternal City. 

However, we have seen it before: large crowds, so much to see and do, and with so much business, you get lost in it all and never get a real opportunity to draw close to Jesus. 

Springing from our hugely successful site at the last World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal, the JP2 Project is bringing back an incredible team of our alumni to run an evangelization week in Rome this summer! 

These passionate and well-formed young adults will be on the streets of Rome, serving as missionaries to organize, invite and minister to thousands of pilgrims through facilitating adoration, sacraments, talks, fellowship activities, encounters with religious communities, and service to the poor!

Sponsoring a JP2 Project missionary for this free week-long event is helping make the Youth Jubilee in Rome a powerful encounter with Our Lord and a deepening of faith for thousands of pilgrims (and tourists!) of our universal Church. 

We’ll be hosting our events at two central locations: International Youth Center and Church of San Lorenzo, located next door to St. Peter’s Basilica, and Chiesa di Santi Giovanni e Petronio, located in Rome's historic center.

Thanks for making this mission a reality!
