Jubilee Year 2025
The year of Jubilee is a very special year for all Christians around the world. It occurs every 25 years, and has links to the Old Testament where God tells the Israelites to celebrate the Year of Jubilee to make sure no one stays in poverty or in slavery forever. It’s a fresh start—a time for everyone to begin again and treat each other with fairness. The key theme for this year is ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ because as Pope Francis told us, ‘Hope does not disappoint’ (Romans 5:5). Just like pilgrims on a journey, we are all going to be ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ at St Georges!
Pope Francis has asked us to celebrate this year with a deep faith, lively hope and active charity. This means he wants each one of us to celebrate this year by trusting in God, looking forward with hope, and showing love to others through kind and caring actions By being ‘pilgrims of Hope’, we will be helping vulnerable members of our local and global community through various fundraising events throughout the year. By joining together with millions of others in this Jubilee Year, we can help to share the light of hope and the message of God’s love. We have many exciting things planned for this year, so don’t forget to check our website regularly for updates!
