POPE FRANCIS HAS DECLARED 2025 AS A YEAR OF JUBILEE WITH THE THEME “PILGRIMS OF HOPE”
“The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire; that is why I have chosen as the motto of the Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope.”
Pope Francis.
The 2025 Year of Jubilee will give voice to Pope Francis’ desire to foster a greater sense of global sisterhood and brotherhood, solidarity with the poor, and caring for the environment. Preparations are underway. All parishes are encouraged to become involved in this Jubilee Year. The 2024 focus for the People of God is on prayer and study. In 2025 the focus shifts to the People of God making a Pilgrimage of Hope. The NZCBC has created an informative webpage. Please visit the website https://www.catholic.org.nz/about-us/jubilee-year-2025/ to find out more information and watch this space for opportunities to become involved in Jubilee 2025.
