During the month of July , the Grow Together Foundation had the privilege of organizing a special pilgrimage in honor of the Jubilee of Hope. This unique journey brought together people from different walks of life to experience moments of reflection, prayer, and community in some of the most sacred places in Italy.
A Journey Through Sacred Places
The pilgrimage began in Rome, the heart of the Catholic Church, where participants had the opportunity to connect with centuries of tradition and faith. From there, the group traveled to Loreto, home to the Holy House of the Virgin Mary, and to Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, whose spirit of simplicity and fraternity continues to inspire millions around the world. Along the way, other significant spiritual sites provided opportunities for prayer, service, and contemplation.
More Than Sightseeing
What made this pilgrimage truly meaningful was that it was not simply a tour of holy places. It was an experience of renewal and growth—an invitation to reflect on life’s deeper meaning and to share values of compassion, faith, and solidarity. Participants came together not only as travelers but as a community, discovering the joy of walking side by side and supporting one another on a journey of both faith and friendship.
The Foundation’s Mission in Action
The pilgrimage was a living expression of the Grow Together Foundation’s mission: to build community and promote the common good. By creating the conditions for people to connect in profound ways, the Foundation helped strengthen bonds of trust, empathy, and shared purpose.
Building Something Greater Together
For many participants, the Jubilee 2025 pilgrimage was a transformative experience. It offered the chance to pause from daily life, to renew one’s spirit, and to find strength in shared moments of service and prayer. Most importantly, it reminded us that when we come together with open hearts, we can build something greater than ourselves—a community rooted in faith, hope, and love.
