We’re taking a trip to The Jubilee, a year-long celebration of the Catholic Church in Rome and across Italy. The 2025 Jubilee will begin on December 24, 2024 and end on January 6, 2026. The theme of the 2025 Jubilee is “Pilgrims of Hope” and marks the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of the Lord.
During the Jubilee, millions of pilgrims visit Rome to seek spiritual renewal and a stronger connection to their faith. The Jubilee offers the faithful the chance to receive plenary indulgence, which means the forgiveness of sins for themselves or deceased relatives.
