The Holy Father, Pope Francis, has announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, a tradition observed every 25 years. The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope,” emphasizing hope for a world facing the challenges of war, the climate crisis, and disease. 

What is a Jubilee?

A Jubilee Year is a special time in the Catholic Church, celebrated every 25 years. It’s a year of grace, forgiveness, and renewal, offering Catholics a chance to restore their relationship with God, others, and creation. The tradition comes from the Bible, where every 50th year was marked as a time for forgiving debts, freeing captives, and letting the land rest (Leviticus 25:8-13).

Our churches remained closed, as did our schools, factories, offices, shops, and venues for recreation." Read More
