About

As we embark on this sacred journey of prayer and fellowship let us embrace the grace of the Holy Year 2025 as Pilgrims of Hope. And deepen our trust in Divine Providence, surrender to the will of our Heavenly Father and live life to the fullest, as he intended it for us. This year we are all called to journey together as “Pilgrims of Hope”. With each decade of the Holy Rosary – The Annunciation – The finding of the child Jesus – The transfiguration of Jesus – The crucifixion of Jesus – The ascension of Jesus -, let us reflect on our own journey as we follow Jesus on his, and give thanks and praise for all the Graces we have received.

At each station let us immerse ourselves into the story of Salvation in the Hope of our own salvation. St Joseph the invisible protector of Our Lord Jesus and Our Lady allowing them to shine in their role of Salvation, as they journeyed out and back into of the Holy Land. Let us meditate on our own journey as we imitate the role of St Joseph in our own lives, inspired by his total and complete surrender to the will of the Father, in the hope that we reawaken with a deeper yearning for the treasures in Heaven.

We are encouraged by the words of Pope Francis: “Pilgrimage is a fundamental element of every Jubilee event… a great aid for rediscovering the value of silence, effort, and simplicity of life.” (Spes non Confundit)

Come with us in faith, and be renewed in hope
