"Pilgrims of Hope"
The celebration of a Jubilee comes from the Jewish tradition where a Jubilee was celebrated every 50 years. This year marked a time to re-establish relationships with God and with one another. Pope Boniface VIII called the first Jubilee or “Holy Year” in 1300, and they are now celebrated every 25 years. This years theme for the Holy Year is "Pilgrims of Hope".
You are invited to re-establish your relationship with God and those whom God has placed in your life. Join us in 2025.
