    Jubilee 2025 Jubilee 2025

    In the Catholic tradition, every 25 years, Jubilees usher in a time of cultural reset. Intended as a time to re-establish proper relationship with God and others, historically, we learn from scripture that it is a time that “proclaims liberty in the land for all its inhabitants.” (Leviticus 25:10) The 2025 theme, Pilgrims of Hope, encourages us to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with openness, trust, and renewed vision.
