We are excited to announce that the Diocese of Arlington will be offering a pilgrimage to World Youth Day 2023!
The experience of diocesan community on our pilgrimage is truly unique, and is enhanced by the opportunity for young people to be with diocesan priests, seminarians, and religious sisters. The Basilica of Saint Mary’s stakeholder coordinates with the Diocesan office to care for all of the details so that each group is able to focus on preparing their participants and doing the necessary fundraising for the trip. World Youth Day is truly a pilgrimage experience. Each day will focus upon prayer, catechesis and the sacraments, with the highlight of participating in Mass with Pope Francis at the end of the week.
