For all questions, please contact your group leader. Their role is to ensure communication between your group and the Mission Jeunesse team. Respecting this line of communication ensures that the group leader stays up to date with all the developments of the group.

Mission Jeunesse MTL coordinates pilgrimages as a diocesan delegation, bringing together and accompanying groups from across the diocese. When young adults experience a pilgrimage with a group from their parish, movement, or community, they are supported and accompanied on their faith journey through fellowship within their group, while also sharing in the vibrant experience of being part of the larger pilgrim community.

However, here are the options for pilgrims who do not have a group.

Option 1 : Form your own group

It only takes 3 people to form and register a group

Option 2 : Contact Mission Jeunesse

Mission Jeunesse is also able to propose groups that are open to welcome pilgrims who do not belong to a group. However, there is no guarantee that we can find you a group.

For all international pilgrimages, the Mission Jeunesse MTL Youth Ministry Office of the Archdiocese of Montreal has chosen to respect and follow the guideline given by the CCCB: “… The minimum age of 18 is to assist diocesan and eparchial delegations and other groups in ensuring the supervision and safety of youth participants.” wydcanada.org www.cccb.ca

Mission Jeunesse MTL follows the diocesan guidelines of responsible pastoral ministry.

In certain very exceptional cases, pastoral exceptions can be made at the Mission Jeunesse – Youth Ministry WYD coordination team’s discretion to permit the participation of minors of 17 years old on the date of departure, who travel with their adult PARENT or LEGAR GUARDIAN.

• The minor must be 17 years old on the day of departure, and must travel with their PARENT or LEGAL GUARDIAN.
• The PARENT or LEGAL GUARDIAN must accompany the minor AT ALL TIMES DURING THE PILGRIMAGE
• The PARENT or LEGAL GUARDIAN cannot assume any other leadership role besides accompanying the minor.

Please note that at international pilgrimages it is not unusual for pilgrims to be separated for accommodations according to their gender. It is therefore strongly recommended they be of the same gender of the minor.

Please read the TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR MINORS PARTICPATING IN WYD WITH A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN

MJ-Youth Ministry reserves the right NOT to accept the registration of minors if they do not meet conditions below, even if they complete their online registration with payment.

Mission Jeunesse MTL organizes pilgrimages for young adults 18-35 y.o. To promote the protagonism of young people, we recommend that communities give a priority to young adults participating in pilgrimages with Mission jeunesse MTL as pilgrims (18-35 y.o.), as group leader (20-35 y.o.) and assistant (20-35 y.o.).

A limited number of Youth Ministers (clergy, men and women of consecrated life, and lay people formed in accompanying youth) 36 y.o. and over may take on the role of spiritual companions, and must follow the diocesan requirements for responsible pastoral ministry. Mission Jeunesse Montreal reserves the right not to accept any registration if the person does not meet the required criteria and conditions even if they complete their online registration with payment.
