Jubilee Assembly

In the Catholic Church, a Jubilee or Holy Year is a special year of forgiveness and reconciliation, in which people are invited to come back into right relationships with God, with one another, and with all creation.

A Jubilee Year is celebrated by the Church every 25 years. This has been the case since 1470, when Pope Paul changed it from every 50 years.

The theme is Pilgrims of Hope. Pope Francis has invited Catholics to renew our hope and discover a vision that can “restore access to the fruits of the earth to everyone”. We are also invited to rediscover a spirituality of God’s creation in which we understand ourselves as “pilgrims on the earth” rather than masters of the world.

St. Anne’s Catholic School is celebrating the Jubilee.  We are pledging to stand in solidarity with our global family.
