Holy Year Pilgrimages to Italy Which Include a visit to the Shrine of the Holy Face of Manoppello

 

Bishop Erik Thomas Pohlmeier of the Diocese of St. Augustine celebrated Mass at the Shrine of the Holy Face of Manoppello (photo from the Facebook page of the Shrine https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=basilica%20volto%20santo%20di%20manoppello)


During this year of Jubilee 2025 many pilgrimages from the USA have been organized which include a visit to the Shrine of the Holy Face of Manoppello.  On January 21 Bishop Erik Thomas Pohlmeier of the Diocese of St. Augustine, Florida led a group of his faithful to the Shrine of the Holy Face of Manoppello.  Below is a list of pilgrimages which I have found that are advertised on the internet.  Some of them may already be fully booked but are accepting applications for a waiting list.
