Mexico - A thousand people take part in the Jubilee Pilgrimage of the Salesian Family in Guadalajara
Guadalajara, Mexico - February 2025 - ‘During this Jubilee Year we have been invited to “set out”, to embark on a journey that leads us towards conversion guided by Jesus, the Good Shepherd’. With this spirit, at the end of the retreat, the members of the Provincial Council and the leaders of the Province of Guadalajara, Mexico (MEG), urged the Salesian Family in Guadalajara to participate in a pilgrimage for the Jubilee Year. Around a thousand people took part in the visit, including a large number of children, adolescents and young people belonging to the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM). The pilgrims aimed to pass through the ‘Holy Door’ of the cathedral, as a gesture in which Jesus is recognised as ‘the only door’ that leads to God the Father. The pilgrimage started from the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, where participants gathered to begin this celebration, listened to a catechism on the Jubilee and had the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Afterwards, amidst singing and applause, the pilgrims walked along the ‘Fra Antonio Alcalde’ path - with the Jubilee Cross and the banner with the image of Mary Help of Christians at the head of the contingent - until they reached the cathedral in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Having arrived at their destination, Fr Filiberto González, MEG Provincial, led a moment of prayer and blessed them as they passed through the ‘Holy Door’. Finally, the Eucharist was celebrated by the Provincial and concelebrated by the Salesian priests present.
