“Jubilee 2025 can revitalise parish life, it is a call to action for everyone to embrace the message of Christian hope,” according to Bishop Monahan of Killaloe, the Jubilee 2025 designate of the Bishops’ Conference.

Bishop Monahan continued, “The celebration of Jubilee 2025 has now begun throughout the universal Catholic Church on the theme: ‘Pilgrims of Hope’.  Everyone is invited to participate in this special year of faith.  Specifically, Pope Francis is encouraging each of us to be messengers of hope in our very troubled world during this holy year.  In our Christian tradition, the Jubilee has a strong focus on reconciliation and renewal, including reaching out to people on the margins.”

A Jubilee Year – also known as a Holy Year – is normally celebrated every 25 years, so that more people can experience it at least once in a lifetime.  In dioceses and parishes around Ireland people are celebrating specific jubilee occasions both locally and in Rome.

Bishop Monahan said, “Reflecting the Jubilee Year in the Universal Church, during this year, the Irish Synodal Pathway will also focus on hope ahead of the national pre-synodal assembly in Kilkenny on 18 October next.  For further information on Jubilee 2025 Year of Hope, see the dedicated page on CatholicBishops.ie for all Jubilee-related updates, including a live calendar featuring events happening across the island.  I encourage everyone to keep the Jubilee Year webpage vibrant, by contributing and sharing videos and photos from events in dioceses by contacting the Catholic Communications Office in Maynooth on info@catholicbishops.ie.  Your contributions will help showcase and amplify the Jubilee celebrations across Ireland.  May God bless you in this Holy Year!”
