The Jubilee Year is a sacred time when the Church invites its members to deepen their faith and experience God's mercy. It's a period of special grace, marked by prayer, penance, and pilgrimage. The 2025 Jubilee, Hope Does Not Disappoint, offers a unique opportunity for Catholics to unite in faith and community.
Pope Francis has chosen the theme Pilgrims of Hope to capture the essence of this Jubilee. It calls us to embark on a spiritual journey, seeking a deeper encounter with God. This pilgrimage isn't merely physical; it's a journey of the heart, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the richness of our faith and the beauty of God's creation.
The concept of pilgrimage is central to the Jubilee experience. It symbolizes our Christian journey towards God, a journey of reflection, repentance, and reconciliation. As we embark on this journey, we are reminded of the power of the community, where we support one another on our spiritual paths.
We will be sharing more information with you throughout the year as we invite you to be a pilgrim of hope with us, in service, prayer, and learning.
