The Jubilee of Hope
The Church is preparing for a beautiful and powerful celebration, the Jubilee of Hope 2025, a special Holy Year centered on renewal, healing, and rediscovering the hope we have in Christ. It’s a time to return to the heart of our faith and open ourselves to God’s abundant mercy.
One unique gift of a Jubilee Year is the opportunity to receive a plenary indulgence, a grace the Church offers to help heal the spiritual effects of sin. Indulgences can be received by making a pilgrimage to a designated Jubilee church, receiving the sacraments, praying for the Pope’s intentions, and turning away from sin. Even from home, you can participate spiritually through prayer, acts of mercy, and personal conversion.
Here are a few ways to live the Jubilee at home:
– Make time for daily prayer or Scripture reading
– Go to Confession and Mass regularly
– Make a pilgrimage to a nearby shrine or holy site
– Offer small sacrifices or acts of mercy for others
– Reconcile with someone or offer forgiveness
Let this year be a turning point, a chance to let hope take root in your life.

Walking with Purpose
Walking With Purpose is a Bible study program for women who want to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ as well as develop connections with other women in the Parish. No previous Bible study experience is necessary! And the only walking involved is with Jesus and each other. Please consider joining us for one of the studies being offered beginning this Fall. We have an open chair waiting for you!
