Bishops create special webpage for Jubilee 2025 – Pilgrims of Hope

Pope Francis has declared 2025 as a year of Jubilee with the theme Pilgrims of Hope, giving voice to his desire for the year to foster a greater sense of global sisterhood and brotherhood, solidarity with the poor, and caring for the environment.

Internationally, preparations for Jubilee 2025 are underway. The Vatican’s Dicastery for Evangelization has prepared supporting resources and has asked local bishops’ conferences to promote and distribute these as well as to collaborate in the preparation of local opportunities. In response, the NZCBC has created an informative, indexed webpage dedicated to Jubilee 2025. It contains background information, links to online resources, and links to other websites for a broader coverage.

The page is here: https://www.catholic.org.nz/about-us/jubilee-year-2025/

The page will be updated regularly. We invite everyone to explore the contents and become familiar with what is planned for the Jubilee. This includes advice and guidance for people planning to travel to Italy next year for the pilgrimage which is part of the year.
