Pope Francis has decreed that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee, a holy year which happens every 25 years in the Catholic Church. Pope Francis is inviting us to renew our sense of hope by naming this very special Jubilee year 'Pilgrims of Hope'. 

We celebrate a Jubilee every twenty-five years. It’s still a very special, holy, year of forgiveness and mercy, a time to reset, and to renew our relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation. 

At St. Mary's we will be celebrating the Jubilee year as a school.  

Cafod has some very useful information on the Jubilee year.  Please watch this short video from Cafod with your child to help explain the Jubilee year.

 

 

We can all be Pilgrims of Hope in 2025.

Pope Francis says:  

“By our actions, our words, the decisions we make each day, our patient efforts to sow seeds of beauty and kindness wherever we find ourselves, we want to sing of hope…and reawaken in every heart the joy and the courage to embrace life to the full.”
