Archbishop William C. Skurla, Bishop Kurt R. Burnette, and Bishop Robert M. Pipta invite the people of the Byzantine Ruthenian Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh to join them on a Pilgrimage to Italy from May 5 to 15, 2025, to celebrate the Jubilee Year of Hope.
Pope Francis has specifically appealed to the Eastern Catholic Churches to participate in this Jubilee Year, recognizing their fidelity to Christ and the Church, even in times of persecution and hardship. The pilgrimage will take participants to captivating cities such as Venice, Ravenna, Florence, Assisi, and Rome, offering unique opportunities for spiritual enrichment and renewal. Fr. Ed Cimbala will serve as the general tour coordinator, and all are welcome to join this prayerful celebration. Learn more
