A Message From Fr. Robert

Did you know that 2025 is a special year for Catholics? We are

celebrating a Jubilee Year, also called a Holy Year. Drawing on our

Jewish roots in the Old Testament, the Jubilee Year emphasizes the

sacrament of reconciliation and restoring relationships with God.


2025 is a Jubilee Year

A Jubilee only comes around every 25 years, and this year’s event

started on 2024 Christmas Eve and ends on Jan. 6, 2026. What does a

Jubilee mean for us? At the heart of the Jubilee, it is a call to renew our

faith and seek reconciliation with God and one another.


Pilgrims of Hope

The theme for the Jubilee is “Pilgrims of Hope.” By choosing this

theme, Pope Francis is emphasizing the importance of hope, even in

uncertain and challenging times. Hope is alive if we focus on the good

things that life can bring, instead of focusing on discouragement and

cynicism.


Putting Faith into Action

Pope Francis invites us to put our faith into action during this Jubilee

Year. He calls us to be signs of hope in our communities. Support the

needy, forgive debts, show compassion for those facing difficulties, and

work for peace.


A Plenary Indulgence

The Jubilee offers us a wonderful chance to receive a plenary indul-

gence, which is the complete forgiveness of sins. To receive the plenary

indulgence, we need to go to confession, participate in the Eucharist at

Mass, pray for the Pope's intentions, and go on a pilgrimage or perform

works of mercy. Easy enough, so make it happen this year!



Embrace the Jubilee Year

Let us embrace this Jubilee Year as an opportunity to renew our faith,

deepen our prayer life, and engage in acts of charity. Together, we can

be a beacon of hope to others.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
