Depart: Thursday, January 21st - early morning

Return: Sunday, January 24th - around 1 am

Our pilgrimage tentatively includes: Vigil Mass for Life at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, National Monuments, Saint John Paul II National Shrine, Prayer at Planned Parenthood, Conference

This is a pilgrimage open to families. It would be wonderful if minors could be accompanied by an adult, but they are still welcome alone. It is a great family experience if possible!

Cost: $150/person to cover transportation, housing, and food.

Scholarships for individuals and family groups are readily available.

We will be sleeping on the floor at Sacred Heart Church in Bowie, Maryland.

We can accommodate families with infants.

Protecting God’s Children (PGC) is required for anyone 18 and older. PGC classes and fingerprinting should try to be done before the end of 2026. Anyone who had fingerprinting done before February 2022, must have it redone. The sooner this is done, the better. More information and instructions can be found on the parish website.

Registration forms and a $50 deposit are due by November 30th to hold your seat on the trip. After this, the trip opens to other churches. The remaining $100 is due by January 13th.
