Journeying with St. Francis of Assisi — Jubilee Year Pilgrimage | 01 May 2026
In conjunction with the Jubilee Year dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, the KL Archdiocesan Prayer Ministry organised a pilgrimage to Ipoh, bringing together 132 pilgrims for a day of prayer, reflection, and fellowship.
The pilgrimage began at the Chapel of St. Francis of Assisi, Tasek, where many participants made their first visit. The group participated in the Eucharistic Celebration, with reflections centred on the life and spirituality of St. Francis — a saint deeply united with Christ.
Fr. Andrew encouraged pilgrims to carry home the spiritual fruits of the pilgrimage, while also reflecting on the quiet yet steadfast faith of St. Joseph, inviting all to grow in trust and devotion.
The journey continued with visits to the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Silibin, where the history of the church and its altar — depicting the Last Supper — was shared, and the Church of St. Joseph, Batu Gajah, where pilgrims gathered to pray the Rosary and reflect on the heritage of the parish.
The KL Archdiocesan Prayer Ministry extends its sincere appreciation to the parish communities for their warm hospitality and welcome.
This pilgrimage served as a meaningful reminder of the grace found in journeying together in faith.
