Pilgrims of Hope

Welcome to the Jubilee Year.  Pope Francis began the Jubilee of Hope in December 2024 when he opened the ‘Holy Door’ in St Peter’s Basilica.  Catholics from all around the world are invited to join in this year of special graces.  

Pilgrimage is part of the practice of many different religions and is part of this Jubilee Year experience as the Pope has called us to be 'Pilgrims of Hope'.  There will be different opportunities for pilgrimage throughout the year which we will hear about here and in the newsletter. 

The Companion Booklet identifies six Jubilee themes in scripture that we will be exploring:

·         Food poverty

·         Modern slavery

·         Managing debt

·         Forgiveness

·         Rest and worship
