Pilgrims of Hope
Every 25 years, the Catholic Church celebrates a special event known as the ‘Year of Jubilee,’ and 2025 marks one of those years! Of course, we want our youngest to join in on the action!

Year of Jubilee Activities
The theme for this years Jubilee is Pilgrims of Hope. Below are activities that connect the many characteristics that will mark the celebration.
Pilgrimage
A ‘journey’ to a sacred place marked by prayer, celebrations, learning, nature and friends along the way.
Holy Door
Usually the end point of a Year of Jubilee pilgrimage. The Holy Door reminds us that Jesus is the door, he is the one who makes a way for us to experience life in all its fullness.
Jesus said, 'I am the Door'
Create your own reminder of stepping through the door, asking God to help us leave our failings behind.
Reconciliation
Forgiving and being forgiven!
Forgiveness Activity
In this year of Jubilee we are reminded to think about the things we might need to say sorry for so we can recieve God's mercy and grace to start again.
Prayer
Spending time with God every day, learning to listen to him as well.
Family Prayer
We invite you to print off the Jubilee Prayer, adapted with kids in mind, from the official Jubilee prayer. Place it in a central place in your home, ministry space or classroom.
Profession of Faith
Spending time with God every day, learning to listen to him as well.
2025 Canonisations
This year during the year of Jubilee there are two saints who are going to be canonised. These two people were pilgrims of Hope in their own journeys and are great examples of how to grow closer to Jesus. Check out the two activities below for Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati.
