A Catholic Jubilee Year, also known as a Holy Year, is a special period of time designated by the Pope. During a Jubilee Year, Catholics are encouraged to make a pilgrimage to Rome and receive special indulgences. The Jubilee Year 2025 will be the 33rd Holy Year in the history of the Catholic Church.
The Jubilee Year is a time of great spiritual renewal and forgiveness. Catholics believe that by participating in the Jubilee, they can receive a plenary indulgence, which is a remission of all temporal punishment due to sin. The Jubilee Year is also a time to reflect on the past and to look forward to the future with hope.
