On the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, the Diocese of Allentown will join Dioceses around the world in commencing the Jubilee Year of Hope. A Jubilee Year is a special time in the Church’s tradition encouraging holiness through acts of reconciliation and communion. The Church celebrates an Ordinary Jubilee every twenty-five years. Jubilee Year 2025 will be marked by special opportunities for grace through the Sacrament of Penance, pilgrimages, and prayer.

Pope Francis stated in his February 2022 letter announcing the Jubilee 2025: “We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire…”
