In a unique way, the Pilgrimage of Hope invited the faithful of our diocese to step away from the routine of daily life and journey together in faith. Walking nearly 90 miles, participants united in prayer, entrusted their needs to Our Lady, and sought renewal through Christ and the Eucharist.

Experiences like this reflect the broader mission of the Office of Evangelization—to accompany individuals in encountering Jesus, growing as disciples, and being sent forth to share His love.

The Diocesan Ministries Appeal (DMA) helps support this mission by making opportunities for spiritual renewal, formation, and evangelization possible throughout our diocese.
