“‘(I)n the Archdiocese of Detroit, throughout the coming Jubilee Year 2025, certain churches will serve as official sites of pilgrimage for the faithful in Southeast Michigan to visit,’ Archbishop Vigneron said. ‘At these archdiocesan pilgrimage sites, the faithful will be able to pray the official prayer for Jubilee Year 2025 and unite themselves spiritually to all who will journey as pilgrims to Rome physically.’ Pilgrims can receive a plenary indulgence by making a pilgrimage to any of the sites during the jubilee year, as well as by performing certain works of devotion, mercy or penance.” The opening mass is 11am on Dec. 29th.

Fr. J.J. Mech is rector of the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit. He is also chaplain for the Patron of the Arts for the Vatican Museum.
