Archdiocese of Philadelphia
Led by Archbishop Nelson J. Perez, we planned and operated an archdiocesan pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi for 100 pilgrims. The sudden death of Pope Francis turned the journey into an unexpected participation in a historic moment — a reminder that pilgrimage teaches us to recognize Providence in disruption. In August 2027 we again carry the Archdiocese abroad, leading young adults to Seoul for World Youth Day with Pope Leo XIV — tracing the footsteps of the Korean martyrs and St. Andrew Kim Dae-geon alongside hundreds of thousands of young Catholics from around the world.
