LAUNCH Summer Challenge – Pilgrims of Hope

In celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year, we’re
excited to invite all LAUNCH families to take part in a special Summer Challenge: The Pilgrims of Hope!

 

This meaningful activity is a wonderful way to grow in faith
as a family while exploring some of Georgia’s beautiful pilgrimage sites, designated by Archbishop Hartmayer for this special Jubilee Year.

Your challenge?

  1. Visit and pray at least three out of six of these special churches over the summer.
  2. After your visits, send a photo and a short reflection to isikora@st-ann.org.

The first three families to complete the challenge and submit their reflections by July 31, 2025, will receive a special goodie bag from the LAUNCH department!

For more details and a list of pilgrimage sites, visit:  Jubilee Year2025 | Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta | Atlanta, GA

We hope you’ll join us on this joyful journey of faith and discovery!
