Pope Francis has pronounced 2025 to be a Year of Jubilee. The theme is ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. This will be an opportunity for all Catholics to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation. It is an invitation to renew our hope, a hope which comes from knowing that God loves each one of us, whoever we are. Pope Francis has asked us to be signs of hope for others, by putting Catholic Social Teaching into action through caring for our common home, and supporting our sisters and brothers who are experiencing war, hunger or poverty.  You will be hearing more about how we will be celebrating this important year in the coming newsletters.
