Pope Francis has declared 2025 to be the Jubilee Year of Hope, a “Holy Year marked by the hope that does not fade, our hope in God.” During this Jubilee marking the 2,025^th anniversary of the Incarnation, we are called to be pilgrims of hope, living witnesses who proclaim the joy and hope of Christ to the modern world. Our diocese has many resources to help you celebrate this Jubilee Year, including information on making a trip to one of six local Jubilee pilgrimage churches in our diocese, how to receive the Jubilee plenary indulgence, Bishop Golka’s pastoral letter on hope with study questions, a parish video series on Vatican II, and other opportunities for growth in prayer and faith.

We pray that all the faithful of our diocese are able to partake in the graces of this Jubilee Year and that it is a time of hope and renewal for our entire diocese!
