Right now, pilgrims are on the road in Italy, making a courageous stand for climate justice. They are walking from the Vatican to Katowice, Poland, the site of this year’s UN climate talks.
You are invited to join in. Pray for the pilgrims and their mission. Your prayer will be written on a prayer ribbon, carried on a pilgrim’s back, and presented to leaders at the UN climate summit in Poland.
The pilgrims’ journey is an incredible witness to the power of love.They are walking up mountains, across nations, and through all weather. We’d like to share a few photos from their journey.
