Pilgrimage is a spiritual journey where the faithful seek reconciliation, prayer, and renewal of faith, offering an opportunity to visit sacred sites, gain indulgences, and deepen their connection with God.

The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) is compiling a list of pilgrimage sites across all states and dioceses, including Holy Door churches and other approved locations, which will be available on the ACBC website and diocesan platforms.

Preparation involves spiritual reflection, reviewing the list of pilgrimage sites, choosing accessible locations, considering group pilgrimages, wearing comfortable attire, and bringing essentials like water and weather-appropriate clothing.

Practical tips include planning transportation ahead, checking site accessibility for people with disabilities, staying hydrated, being mindful of weather conditions, and following any safety or COVID-19 protocols in place.

Many pilgrimage sites will host special Jubilee liturgies, Masses, prayer services, and reflections, so it is important to check with the site or diocese for schedules and additional activities.

Group pilgrimages are encouraged, and you can speak with your parish or diocese to organise transport, accommodations, and shared liturgical activities to enrich the spiritual journey.

Those unable to travel can participate spiritually through prayer, acts of charity, and online resources provided by the ACBC, with many dioceses livestreaming Jubilee celebrations or offering digital prayer tools.

Pilgrims are advised to bring a journal or prayer book, a printed list of participating sites, rosary beads, or other devotional items for personal prayer to enhance their experience.
