15th Pilgrimage to Rome


PEREGRINATIO AD PETRI SEDEM MMXXVI


About us


Each year, from 2012 onward, the representatives of the People “Summorum Pontificum” bring together in Rome faithful, priests and religious from all over the world. Their aim is that of being part of the new evangelization at the rhythm of the extraordinary form of the roman rite – i.e. the Latin and Gregorian Mass, celebrated according to the last edition of the Tridentine Missal published by Pope John XXIII.

During the three-day pilgrimage, its participants have the opportunity of witnessing the eternal youth of the traditional liturgy. Friday, the pilgrims gather in the Basilica of Santa Maria “ad Martyres” (Pantheon), where they assist at solemn Vespers. Saturday, after a time of Eucharistic adoration and a procession throughout the streets of the centre of Rome, a solemn Pontifical Mass is celebrated in St. Peter’s Basilica. The pilgrimage ends Sunday, feast of Christ the King with masses of thanksgiving.

DEO GRATIAS !


Dear Friends,


Let us give thanks to God for our 2025 pilgrimage, which was a great moment of Faith and Peace!

Let us especially thank the Holy Father for granting us the Mass according to the Usus Antiquior at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and our friends Cardinals Burke and Zuppi, who, in charity, carried our prayers to heaven.

Let us now prepare for our 15th pilgrimage, which will take place from October 23 to 25, 2026.


In union of prayer and friendship,

Christian Marquant
