2025, A Jubilee Year in the Church: A Jubilee year is held every twenty-five years. Pope Francis will officially open the year by opening a Holy Door in St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome on Christmas Eve. The beginning will be celebrated worldwide on the following Sunday, 29th December Feast Day of the Holy Family in every diocese worldwide, and thus at all our Masses that weekend. Pope Francis has chosen the Jubilee theme ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. We are asked to treat the year ahead as a year-long pilgrimage seeking together to become more aware that truly Jesus Christ Our Saviour is with us each day, - as our help, strength and guide. When we speak of ‘Hope’ we mean ‘Hope in Jesus Christ’, Hope in our God, Father, Son and Spirit.
