Hardinsburg students make Jubilee of Hope pilgrimage to cathedral
BY WKC STAFF
On Sept. 24, St. Romuald Interparochial School made a pilgrimage from Hardinsburg to St. Stephen Cathedral in Owensboro, as part of their observance of this year’s Jubilee of Hope.
The students prayed, learned about the history of the cathedral – the mother church of the Diocese of Owensboro – and received stamps in their pilgrimage passports, which are available at all six of the diocese’s jubilee pilgrimage sites. St. Romuald Parish is another diocesan jubilee site, so all the students now have at least two stamps in their passports.

The six jubilee pilgrimage sites for the Diocese of Owensboro are St. Stephen Cathedral in Owensboro; St. Romuald Parish in Hardinsburg; the Diocesan Shrine of Mary on the campus of St. Joseph Parish in Bowling Green; St. Francis de Sales Parish in Paducah; Holy Redeemer Parish in Beaver Dam; and St. Leo Parish in Murray.
Those who receive all six jubilee stamps in their passports throughout this year can receive a free Jubilee of Hope tote bag by contacting the diocese’s Office of Communications at [email protected]. Learn more at owensborodiocese.org/jubilee-year-pilgrims-of-hope.
