Pilgrims' Progress to Rome

Matt Feeley • August 22, 2024

Pilgrims' Progress to Rome!

Life has chosen to mark Jubilee Year 2025 with its own special contribution to 'Pilgrims of Hope'- its first charity fundraising challenge.


You are invited to register your interest in an eight-day fundraising trek to Rome in Autumn 2025 following part of the ancient Camino Via Francigena pilgrimage route. The trek will be with a group of pilgrims of all ages and backgrounds. There are plans to organise an additional day in Rome to complete the pilgrimage in a special way for those who would like to join in an expression of faith.


A jubilee is a special holy year of grace and pilgrimage. Life is calling all those with "an adventurous spirit and a compassionate heart" to join us, while also fundraising for our range of services to women with an unplanned or unsupported pregnancy and those that have experienced baby loss.


Please email Matt Feeley at Life at mattfeeley@lifecharity.org.uk or phone 07496 005110 to receive more information about this unique opportunity.
