Jubliee 2025 | Pilgrims of Hope
THE JUBILEE YEAR OF HOPE 2025 “Jubilee” is the name given to a particular year. A time to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation. The Jubilee Year 2025 officially began on December 8, 2024, when Pope Francis opened the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica.
This sacred year of Hope invites us all to renew our faith and deepen our commitment to God. We encourage parishioners to take full advantage of this special year, which offers Catholics the possibility of obtaining a plenary indulgence through prayer, pilgrimages, reflection, and acts of service. Resources to support our journey, including daily prayer guides and reflections, are available online:
CAFOD You can Join CAFOD’s “Make a Jubilee pledge”, to recommit to our global family this Jubilee year by pledging a transformative monthly gift, and you’ll receive their weekly gospel reflections by email. These weekly email reflections include reflections on the Sunday gospel, and ways in which you and the wider CAFOD family can give, act and pray during the Jubilee Year. http://www.cafod.org.uk/pray/jubilee-2025
LOYOLA PRESS JUBILEE 2025 This resource offers books and articles exploring the theme of “Pilgrims of Hope,” helping Catholics to deepen their understanding of the Jubilee’s significance and how to live it out in their daily lives.

CONFIRMING OUR PARISH NAME In discussion with Bishop David recently, it has been decided to firm up the name of our combined Parish by combining the two names together in a new logo. Going forward we are ‘Our Lady of Peace and St Andrew’s’. The Bishop is happy with this slight amendment as it helps in some way for people to understand that we are truly one Parish and not two separate entities. You will see the new logo appearing across the Parish in future.
