"Pilgrims of Hope"
The celebration of a Jubilee comes from the Jewish tradition where a Jubilee was celebrated every 50 years. This year marked a time to re-establish relationships with God and with one another. Pope Boniface VIII called the first Jubilee or “Holy Year” in 1300, and they are now celebrated every 25 years. This years theme for the Holy Year is "Pilgrims of Hope".
There are a few ways to enter into this Holy Year of grace, specifically:
Details are still tentative for the Jubilee of Youth, but one event would be with the relics of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati and another with the relics of Blessed Carlo Acutis. Want to add a custom extension to your trip? See them at the bottom of the page or click here.
