Every 25 years, the Catholic Church celebrates a Jubilee Year—a special time of forgiveness, new beginnings, and hope. Pope Francis has declared 2025 a Jubilee Year with the theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” The 2025 Jubilee Year, begins on Christmas Eve 2024 and ends on 6th January 2026. 

We are encouraged to use this Jubilee to grow closer to God, reach out with love to others, and care for God’s creation.  Pilgrims often travel to holy places, but this year, we are reminded that the journey of hope and faith can begin in our own hearts.

At St. Richard`s , we will embrace this special year with a programme of Jubilee activities, helping us rediscover hope, strengthen our faith, and work together to bring healing and love to the world.

“I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord… “plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE.” (Jeremiah 29: 11)
