What Is a Jubilee Year?
In the Catholic Church, a Jubilee Year, or Holy Year, is a sacred time of prayer, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. It traces its roots to the Old Testament, where jubilee years marked freedom, restoration, and blessings. The first Catholic jubilee was declared in 1300 by Pope Boniface VIII. Jubilee Years typically occur every 25 years unless declared extraordinary. The last one was the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy in 2015–2016. The next, themed “Pilgrims of Hope”, arrives in 2025.The Theme: Pilgrims of Hope
“Pilgrims of Hope” reflects a message of unity and resilience in a world marked by challenges. Pope Francis calls for reconciliation and faith as tools for building peace and hope during this holy year.📣 Don’t miss out during this special Jubilee Year!
