2025 Jubilee

Pope Francis announced on Wednesday, November 20, during his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square, coinciding with World Children’s Day, that Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, two young Catholics known for their vibrant faith and holiness, will be canonized during major Jubilee events in 2025.

In his forthcoming book, Hope Never Disappoints: Pilgrims Towards a Better World, Pope Francis addresses pressing global issues, including the suffering caused by war, displacement, and famine.

The project covers 55 hectares of the extraterritorial area at Castel Gandolfo, divided into 35 hectares of beautiful gardens and 20 hectares of agricultural and livestock land, greenhouses, and service buildings, said Vatican News.

Archbishop Andrews Thazhath said, “The 35 Council Notebooks represent a journey of faith, reflection, and adaptation."

Cardinal Aviz said the new style of walking together can be and must be learned this time when “an overly individualistic spirituality is emerging."

Pope said it will range “from thanksgiving to intercession; from contemplative prayer to the prayer of consolation; from adoration to supplication.”
