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.

Pilgrims of Hope: D& P Walk for Social Justice

In this Jubilee Year of Hope, among other things we are encouraged to do a walk for Social Justice.  Our regional Development & Peace – Caritas Canada is planning a walk on November 16, the Jubilee of Social Justice.  We will walk from St Thomas Aquinas Church courtyard (Good Shepherd Parish) to St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica. Members of Knights of Columbus and St Vincent de Paul will be present. Everyone in the archdiocese is welcome to join in the walk. We will have short reflections and prayers along the way. For those who cannot join the walk, you can go directly to St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica for 5:00pm Mass, with Archbishop Dunn presiding.

In the event of  Rain or Snow, the walk will be CANCELLED and all are invited to meet at St Mary’s Cathedral Basilica for the Special 5:00pm Mass.
