Jubilee Year 2025

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.

The annual Sacred Eucharistic procession of the Catholic Archdiocese of Shillong took place at the Cathedral of Mary Help of Christians in Laitumkhrah.

The Catholic Church in Northeast India set the preparation for the Jubilee Year 2025 in motion by revisiting ‘Ecclesia in Asia’ an apostolic exhortation issued by Saint Pope John Paul II in 1999 at the annual Regional Pastoral Conference that began on August 26, 2024, at Jubilee Memorial Hall of North East Diocesan Social Service Society, Guwahati, Assam.

The "Conference on Prayer," held in the Philippines at the Sta. Rosa Multi-Purpose Complex, City of Santa Rosa, this August 31, 2024, is one of the pivotal events for this coming Year of Prayer.
