Pilgrimage announced in Hungary on anniversary of papal visit
The Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference (MKPK) announced a national pilgrimage to Rome on the anniversary of Pope Francis’s visit to Hungary between 23 and 25 April.
Pilgrimage to Rome in April
Mass will be celebrated in Hungarian in one of the large basilicas in Rome on each day of the pilgrimage, with the last one held in St Peter’s Cathedral, the MKPK said in a statement after its regular spring meeting on Thursday. The pontiff will receive the pilgrims in the Paul VI Audience Hall on 25 April.
Noting that Pope Francis had declared 2025 a Jubilee year, the MKPK said that in preparation to those events, the Hungarian Catholic Church will participate in the first World Day of Children, held on the last weekend of May.
