Our Jubilee of the Missions Pilgrimage to Rome is fast approaching! Join us on October 2-11, 2025, for this spiritual journey of reflection on the Church’s missionary identity, celebration of the Jubilee of the Missions with fellow pilgrims and Pope Leo XIV, and monumental international meeting of missionaries at the Pontifical Urban University.
The Most Rev. James T. Schuerman, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and episcopal advisor to USCMA, will serve as our spiritual guide. Watch a video invitation from Bishop Schuerman.
Don’t miss this opportunity to represent the U.S. Church in Rome!
