2025 Jubilee Year of Hope
In the Catholic Church, a Jubilee or Holy Year is a special year of forgiveness and reconciliation in which people are invited to grow in their relationship with God, with one another and with all of creation. A Jubilee Year is celebrated by the Church every 25 years. This has been the case since 1470 when Pope Paul II changed it from every 50 years.
The theme in 2025 is Pilgrims of Hope. Pope Francis has invited Catholics to renew our hope and discover a vision that can ‘restore access to the fruits of the earth to everyone’. We are also invited to rediscover a spirituality of God’s creation in which we understand ourselves as ‘pilgrims on the earth’ rather than masters of the world.
How will we be marking this special year at St Mary's?
At our School Council Meeting in January 2025, we gathered ideas from the whole school on how we celebrate this special Jubilee Year of Hope. We added everyone's to a yearly overview.
