This initiative is in response to His Holiness Pope Francis' instructions that the Ordinary Jubilee of the Year 2025 must "guide our steps towards yet another fundamental celebration for Christians" in commemoration of "the two thousandth anniversary of the redemption won by the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus" in the Great Jubilee Year of 2033. (Spes Non Confundit, 6)
May our prayerful disposition increase the grace of faith and charity in our respective families and parish communities.
