Jubilee Year 2025
In his February 2022 letter announcing the Jubilee 2025, Pope Francis shared that "we must fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. 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..."
Jubilee Year 2025 officially kicked off on December 24 with Pope Francis opening the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica. The celebration of jubilee years typically includes pilgrimages, processions, celebrations of Mass and an invitation to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. These liturgical celebrations are opportunities to receive the Lord’s mercy and lead to the performance of works of mercy. The Jubilee Year will offer the faithful opportunities to participate in various jubilee events at the Vatican and right here in Haubstadt. The Jubilee will conclude January 6, 2026.
Pope Francis designated the theme of this Jubilee as Pilgrims of Hope, and we are called to embrace each other and unite in hope for our world. This Jubilee Year is a time for prayer, celebration and reconciliation. Throughout the year, St. James and Sts. Peter & Paul will unite in celebrating with special activities and monthly parishioner challenges aimed at spreading hope within our community.
