2025 Jubilee

Pope Francis on Christmas Eve opened the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican to kick off Jubilee 2025.

Pope Francis has released his prayer intention for December, inviting all Christians to pray for the grace to become "pilgrims of hope" as the Church prepares for the 2025 Jubilee of Hope on December 3, 2024.

Pope Francis will make a historic gesture of solidarity on December 26 by opening a Holy Door in Rebibbia Prison, Rome, marking a significant moment in Jubilee history.

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.”

Pope Francis has given his approval for the theme of the upcoming Holy Year.
