What is a Jubilee year? And why does it matter?
A Jubilee Year is a special celebration the Church holds at least once every 25 years. It’s a year of pilgrimages, of a focus on the spiritual life, of confession and special Masses, and of a general turn towards God in thanksgiving, and in repentance.
We are grateful for all contributions to all our special collections for 2024. It is only through the generosity of many people that the Archdiocese is able to provide the support and resources needed for the pastoral work of Archbishop Dunn and the parishes of our local Church.
The downtown offices of the Archdiocese will be closed at 12:00 noon on Tuesday, December 24 and re-open in the new year on Thursday, January 2, 2025.
To that end there will also be no Halifax-Yarmouth News Services posted next week nor while the office is closed. The next edition of the news service will be emailed to subscribers on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.
Archbishop Dunn and the staff of the Catholic Diocesan Centre wish all a very Merry Christmas and many blessings for the new year…a Jubilee Year!! We look forward to serving you in 2025.
