For everyone, may the Jubilee be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, the “door” (cf. Jn 10:7.9) of our salvation, whom the Church is charged to proclaim always, everywhere and to all as “our hope” (1 Tim 1:1).
Pope Francis, Spes Non Confundit 1
In 2025, Pope Francis invites the Church to celebrate the Jubilee of Hope under the theme Pilgrims of Hope, inspired by the Papal Bull Spes non Confundit ("Hope Does Not Disappoint"). This Holy Year calls all Christians to renew their trust in God's promises, embracing hope as a transformative virtue that carries us through life's challenges.
In Spes non Confundit, the Pope reminds us that hope, rooted in God's love and mercy, empowers us to persevere and walk together toward a future filled with grace. He emphasizes that we are all pilgrims on a journey—spiritual and physical—moving forward with faith and joy, sharing the light of Christ with the world.
Join us in this year of grace as we, as Pilgrims of Hope, deepen our commitment to the Gospel, unite in prayer, and become instruments of healing and renewal in the world. Click the links below to learn more about our Jubilee celebrations especially in our diocese.
Read the Papal Bull of Pope Francis, Spes Non Confundit, which announces the Jubilee in 2025. The Papal Bull was released on May 9, 2024, Solemnity of Ascension.

“Jubilee” is the name given to a particular year; the name comes from the instrument used to mark its launch. In this case, the instrument in question is the yobel, the ram's horn, used to proclaim the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
