Holy Year 2025 “Pilgrims of Hope”
The theme is an invitation to share the hope of the Christian faith with the world, which is suffering from the effects of war, poverty, climate change, and the COVID pandemic. The theme also encourages people to reignite their faith and share it with others.
Pope Francis’s message: Pope Francis said that the word “pilgrim” makes people think about walking, and that he wishes people to always be on the move and keep moving forward in life. He also said that the Jubilee should be an opportunity to be renewed in hope.
The Holy Year of Jubilee is an event that takes place every 25 years in the Catholic Church. The idea behind the Jubilee year is to allow the faithful to start afresh with a clean slate.
