To celebrate Youth Week in the Jubilee Year 2025, Bishop Philip is inviting anyone who is 17+ to take part in the Diocese of Portsmouth Youth Pilgrimage to Rome.

The pilgrimage will run between 28 July and 4 August, coinciding with the World Youth Day. Pilgrims will follow a full programme in Rome led by Bishop Philip, including visits to the Vatican and World Youth Day Jubilee events.

The cost of the pilgrimage is £1,350 per person for a shared room.  This includes all flights, together with transport in Rome, hotel accommodation including breakfast and an evening meal at the hotel and 20kg of luggage.

Pilgrims will need to have a valid passport, a valid EHIC or GHIC and provide their own travel insurance.  They will also need some spending money in Rome to buy refreshments, lunch and any souvenirs they would like to bring home!

When booking a place on the pilgrimage, pilgrims will need to pay a £350 deposit followed by payment in full or by monthly instalments on the first day of the month.  The final payment for the pilgrimage must be received by 1 June 2025.

For more info look at the posters or email youth@portsmouthdiocese.org.uk.  Book as soon as possible as places are limited.
