About the Jubilee 2025 Pilgrims of Hope

What is Jubilee 2025?

The Jubilee Year 2025 is a significant moment in the Catholic faith, a time of reflection, prayer, and renewal. It is a year that invites believers to come together to deepen their spiritual journey and experience God’s mercy in a meaningful way. Jubilee 2025 Pilgrims of Hope is an initiative that brings together pilgrims from all over the world to celebrate this momentous year in community and faith.

Jubilee 2025 Pilgrims of Hope seeks to unite people through a shared pilgrimage experience, offering opportunities for personal reflection, prayer, and communal support. The journey is not only a physical one, but a spiritual adventure that nurtures hope, peace, and solidarity.

The Jubilee Prayer

The "Jubilee Prayer" for the 2025 Holy Year, released by the Vatican, is a heartfelt request that thanks God for the gift of faith. It asks the Holy Spirit to fill believers’ hearts with love and help them share the Gospel. The prayer highlights how God's grace can change people and the world, bringing about a future where evil is defeated and God's glory shines.

Source of life that has no ending,

on life’s path I trust in you.

Canada's Shrines

During the Jubilee Year 2025, pilgrims are invited to make a special effort to visit the shrines to pray for peace and to experience a renewed joy that springs from Christian hope. You can see a list of Canada's National Shrines by clicking here. 

We are fortunate to have one of six nationally recognized shrines right here in Winnipeg. It is the only National Shrine in Western Canada.

CCCB Jubilee Links

Pilgrims of Hope

The CCCB Ad hoc Committee for the Preparation of the Jubilee has developed several resources to assist dioceses, eparchies, parishes, Catholic schools, movements and associations, and all those wishing to celebrate the Jubilee Year. Included on this webpage dedicated to the Jubilee, you will find webinars focused on the Years of Preparation (the Year of the Council 2023 and the Year of Prayer 2024), toolkits for faith formation for adults, children, and youth, and information on Canada’s National Shrines. A complete brand kit is also available with templates for bulletin announcements, prayer cards, banners, and assets for social media platforms.

The Ordinary Jubilee of the Year 2025 is an opportunity for all people to enter into a pilgrimage of hope. Whether we celebrate locally (in our dioceses, cathedrals or Canada’s National Shrines) or make a pilgrimage to Rome, we are called to search for signs of hope and be signs of hope in our families, for our neighbours, the imprisoned, the sick and dying, the young and old.

Indeed, hope does not disappoint!
