Dear Donors,
I am excited to join thousands of young people will descend on Rome this summer for the canonization of Pier Giorgio Frassati + the Jubilee year! 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.
I will join other young adults 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!
Donating to the JP2 Project allows us to run this week-long event 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.
Thanks to our partnership with the Truth & Beauty Project, we’ll be hosting our events at the International Youth Center and Church of San Lorenzo, located next door to St. Peter’s Basilica, and home to the original WYD cross that John Paul II entrusted to young people on Palm Sunday of 1984!
Thank you for your support and prayers!
St. John Paul II and Blessed Pier Gorgio Frassati, pray for us!
God bless,
Leah
