What does the Jubilee 2025 offer us?
The jubilee is one of the most significant events of the Catholic Church and occurs only once every 25 years. With the beginning of the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025, believers may ask many questions: How can the jubilee contribute to my life of faith? What are the Holy Doors? What is a jubilee church? How can I participate in the jubilee if I do not go on pilgrimage to Rome?
