Jubilee 2025

These sacred years remind us that humanity, history and time do not merely belong to God; they have been taken up into God in the person of Jesus Christ.

Even if one cannot physically make a pilgrimage to the sacred places that the church sets aside, every Catholic can experience the indulgence of God’s grace by entering the holy doors of one’s own parish “home” and being intentional about receiving the sacraments.

The roots of a jubilee year are found in Scripture. As described in Leviticus 25, every 50th year was to be celebrated as a jubilee year in which all debt was forgiven, slaves were freed and their ancestral lands could be reclaimed.
