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 2025: A year of Celebrations!

The Pope invites Catholics around the world to consider making a pilgrimage to Rome this Jubilee Year.  To help encourage people to come Rome will host a number of Jubilee events.  Some key major events will be celebrations centered on a particular area or group. For example, January 24-28 will be the Jubilee of the World of Communications. This multi-day gathering invites Catholics involved in communications to come gather with others to  reflect on the ways we communicate the faith and have an opportunity to walk through the Holy Door.   Check out schedule of Jubilees being held throughout 2025 here: www.iubilaeum2025.va/en/pellegrinaggio/calendario-giubileo.html
