Welcome to Jubilee 2025
Pilgrims of Hope

Join us to celebrate Jubilee 2025, a sacred year of renewal, hope, and grace.
As pilgrims, we are invited to embark on a transformative journey, deepening our faith and opening our hearts to God’s infinite mercy.


“For it is a jubilee; it shall be sacred for you.”
(Leviticus 25:10)


What is the Jubilee 2025?

The Jubilee calls us to go beyond our limits and embark on a spiritual journey. It is not just a physical movement, but a transformation of the heart. The pilgrimage begins with the decision to depart, explore sacred places, and participate in sacred rites and liturgies. This is a profound experience of conversion that brings us closer to God and to others who are also seeking a better future.

As described in Leviticus 25, the Holy Year is a time of atonement and mercy, a time to forgive debts, seek reconciliation, and embrace conversion.

In Rome, the opening of the Holy Doors in the major basilicas marks the beginning of the Jubilee. By passing through these doors, pilgrims receive special graces and the opportunity to obtain the Jubilee Plenary Indulgence.

Outside of Rome, bishops designate certain churches as Special Places of Prayer during the Jubilee Year. These sites become pilgrimage locations where the faithful can receive a Plenary Indulgence by meeting specific conditions such as prayer, confession, and communion.


The National Shrine of Our Lady of Charity has been designated as a special place for prayer this year.
