November 5 to 7, 2025
Milledgeville, Heritage Retreat Center, Washington GA
Our parish’s GA Catholic Heritage Jubilee Pilgrimage will take us to the historic heartland of our early Catholic roots here in Georgia on November 5 to 7. This pilgrimage will include prayer and communal fellowship. We’ll visit historic Milledgeville & Sacred Heart Church and spend two nights at the Heritage Retreat Center in Crawfordville. We’ll pray in Georgia’s first Catholic parish, the Church of the Purification, and at our state’s oldest Catholic cemetery at Locust Grove. We’ll end our trip in historic Washington, GA, and surrounding sites. The pilgrimage will be by coach, and there are limited seats and accommodations.
