Youth have courageously signed up to share their stories. Some of the stories we will hear from our youth contain topics such as loss of a parent, depression, and suicidal ideation. These youth also share how they found God&#8217;s presence, love, and grace through their local faith communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See you Friday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; The Pilgrimage Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pilgrimage 2025 is less than a week away!
