Jubilee 2025, Diocesan Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the Nat. Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

The Diocese of Metuchen will be hosting a pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington D.C., Sept. 20 in celebration of Jubilee 2025, and in anticipation of the 45th anniversary of the Diocese in 2026.

Please join Bishop James F. Checchio and hundreds of other parishioners this fall as we celebrate the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of Our Lord so that, in the Holy Father’s words, we may “fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision.”

For those unable to travel to Washington for the Diocesan Pilgrimage, please know that Bishop Checchio, in accordance with the directives of the Holy See, has designated the following sites as sacred places in the Diocese of Metuchen where the faithful may obtain a Jubilee indulgence:

•  Cathedral of St. Francis of Assisi, Metuchen
•  Shrine Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament, Raritan
•  National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima, Washington
•  National Shrine of St. Lucy Filippini (inside St. Mary of Mt. Virgin Church), New Brunswick
