Pope Francis declared the missionaries martyrs in 2025, and the diocese expects about 10,000 people at the special Mass.

  • On Monday, former British paratrooper Karl Bushby completes a 28-year, 31,000-mile walk, arriving at his mother's home in Hull, England after traversing four continents.
  • Bushby began his trek in 1998 at age 29, adhering to strict rules that prohibited using any transport to move forward and required returning home entirely on foot.
  • Throughout his travels, the 57-year-old navigated the Bering Strait, swam the Caspian Sea, and crossed the English Channel while entering 30 foreign countries across South America, North America, Asia and Europe.
  • Reflecting on the journey's conclusion, Bushby expressed uncertainty about the finish while acknowledging the kindness of strangers who supported him throughout the world-spanning trek.
  • The trek tested Bushby against shifting ice, crocodile-infested waters, and geopolitical obstacles that threatened the journey at nearly every continent, yet he maintained his commitment to completing it entirely on foot.
