2025 Jubilee Pilgrims of Hope
Consider bringing your parish or group to Rome for the 2025 Jubilee!
The year 2025 has been designated a Year of Jubilee by Pope Francis. The Holy Doors of the major basilicas of Rome will be open for this special year. The Jubilee calls for us to set out on a journey and to cross boundaries. When we travel, we do not only change place physically, but we also change ourselves. Hence, it is important to prepare ourselves well, to plan the route, and learn about the destination. In this sense, the Jubilee pilgrimage begins before the start of the journey itself: the starting point is the decision to set out.
