Jubilee 2025

Jubilee Year 2025

This year the Catholic Church universal celebrates an Ordinary Jubilee of the Year 2025.   In May 2024, Pope Francis released a papal bull declaring the upcoming Jubilee Year and shared his hopes for the year and it’s overarching: hope. He invites Catholics around the word to re-discover the gift of hope. In the bull he wrote:

“May the Jubilee be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, the 'door' (cf. Jn 10:7,9) of our salvation, whom the Church is charged to proclaim always, everywhere, and to all as 'our hope' (1 Tim 1:1),”

The Jubilee begins on December 24, 2024 with the official Opening of the Holy Door of Saint Peter’s Basilica, and runs to January 6, 2026, the Feast Day of Epiphany, with the Closing of the Holy Door.

Jubilee of Catechesis in the diocese

This weekend in Halifax you may have witness a Jubilee Celebration at your parish. This Fall all the parishes of our diocese will celebrate a Jubilee event for each of our four pastoral priorities: catechesis, evangelization, social justice, and worship. These events are a time of blessing and commissioning volunteers/staff who advance the mission of the parish and also of sharing our signs of hope and hearing your hopes for the future as well. Each event will focus on one of our pastoral priorities and this month we are celebrating Catechesis.

How can you be involved? Make sure to watch the video we recorded for the Jubilee, hearing from Dr. Deacon Bob Rice, an expert in the field what they are seeing related to Catechesis in their work and ministry in the global Church. Then make sure to have your voice heard by filling out a brief survey on the Jubilee of Catechesis. There are only two questions: What are the "Signs of Hope" that you see in the area of Catechesis in our Church, & what are your "Hopes for the Future" that you see in the area of Catechesis in our Church?
