Goal
Thank you to everyone who donated to my trip to Rome! I have officially reached my fundraising goal (even though this page says otherwise). Thank you very much for your generosity. Please keep me and the JP2 Project in your prayers as we carry out this important mission this summer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Help me serve thousands of people who will descend on Rome this summer for the Jubilee of Youth and the canonization of Pier Giorgio Frassati!
Partnered with the JP2 Project, I and a group of young adult missionaries will be on the streets of Rome to organize, invite, and minister to thousands of pilgrims by facilitating Adoration, the sacraments, spiritual talks, fellowship activities, encounters with religious communities, and service to the poor! However, I cannot do this alone, which is why I need YOUR help!
This is a HUGE moment for the Church and an opportunity for evangelization for people visiting the Eternal City. Sponsoring me for this week-long event will help make the Jubilee of Youth in Rome a powerful encounter with Our Lord for thousands of pilgrims of our universal Church.
The JP2 Project has been tremendously influential in my faith life and has contributed to a significant deepening of my relationship with Jesus Christ. With this group, I have had the opportunity to attend a week-long seminar in Washington, DC, and to serve with them at World Youth Day in 2023. Having received so much from this organization and from the Lord, it is only right for me to reciprocate those gifts by extending them to others in this capacity.
Thanks to our partnership with the Truth & Beauty Project, the JP2 Project will host 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 time and generosity! Pope St. John Paul II and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, pray for us!
