Pilgrimages

Local Pilgrimage Sites—Obtain the Jubilee Indulgence

The Archbishop’s decree designates three sacred locations in the Archdiocese where pilgrims may obtain the Jubilee Indulgence:

Holy Rosary Cathedral in Vancouver, which the Archbishop said should be in a special way among the “sacred places of welcome and privileged spaces for the rebirth of hope” like the other Marian Shrines Pope Francis mentions in his proclamation of the Jubilee Year;

St. Jude’s Parish and Shrine in Vancouver;

St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Agassiz, along with the adjacent Shrine of Santo Niño de Cebu.

The faithful can obtain the Jubilee Indulgence by visiting one of the designated sites and devoutly participating in Holy Mass or other sacred acts, such as the celebration of the Word of God, the Liturgy of the Hours, the Way of the Cross, the Rosary, or a penitential celebration that includes individual confession.

Works of Mercy

Hope on the Horizon:  Summer Outreach for Young Adults

When: July 14 - August 22, 2025

Hope on the Horizon is a multi-week homeless outreach and leadership program by Catholic Street Missionaries. It is designed to introduce young adults (aged 19-30) to the life of a street missionary, sharing a life of prayer and service with others who go out into the streets bringing the love of Jesus to the homeless in downtown Vancouver.

Participants will live a communal life, praying, learning, and reaching out to our homeless friends on the streets. In addition, there will be street outreach training, faith formation and personal skills development. We will also enjoy recreational activities together.  Learn more at https://www.catholicstreetmissionaries.org/horizon.
