Year of jubilee 2025
The Holy Father has decided that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee, something which happens every 25 years. The theme is “Pilgrims of Hope”.
The Jubilee of 2025 will begin on December 24, 2024, with the opening of the Holy Door and will last until January 6, 2026.
The Jubilee is a special year of grace when the Catholic Church offers the faithful the chance to receive the plenary indulgence, meaning the forgiveness of sins for themselves or deceased relatives.
Plenary IndulgenceThe Vatican decree was issued outlining the different ways that Catholics may obtain the Plenary Indulgence during the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year. Click HERE to read the Plenary Indulgence Decree.

The most moving and well-known ritual is undoubtedly the opening of the Holy Door. This door is only opened during the Jubilee year, and the 4 main ones are the major basilicas of Rome: St. Peter's, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major. -
