Jubilee Year 2025 – Pilgrims of Hope
The 2025 Jubilee Year, a Catholic tradition that takes place every 25 years, has the theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” The year is a time to reconnect with God, each other, and creation, and to offer hope to a world suffering from war, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Jubilee Year will run from December 24, 2024, when the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica opens, to December 23, 2025, when it closes.
