Jubilee 2025: Pilgrims of Hope
A Jubilee year is a Holy Year of the forgiveness of sin, conversion and joyful celebration. Jubilee 2025 was proclaimed by Pope Francis in the Papal Bull Spes Non Confundit (“Hope does not disappoint”).
The Jubilee began in Rome on the vigil of the Lord’s Nativity on December 24, 2024 with the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, and in local dioceses on Holy Family Sunday on December 29. It will conclude in local dioceses the following Holy Family Sunday on December 28, 2025, and in Rome on the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, January 6, 2026, with the closing of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica.
