Officially started with the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on 24 December 2024, the Jubilee 2025 is the 27th ordinary universal jubilee in the history of the Church.
The entire jubilee period is characterized by a rich calendar of religious, cultural and social events. Aside from celebrations and rituals addressed to all the faithful, the Holy Year’s program includes several “jubilees” dedicated to different categories of people, identified according to specific professions or their role within the family, the Church and society. Each one includes moments of dialogue and spirituality, with a concluding mass celebrated by the pope.
The day of 15 September is dedicated to all those who are experiencing a time of pain and affliction due to illness, bereavement, violence and abuse. Participation in the celebrations and jubilee events is also open to their families and friends. The program for the Jubilee of Consolation begins in the morning with a pilgrimage to the Holy Door (from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.), with opportunity for confessions in the Jubilee churches. In the afternoon, at 5 p.m., St. Peter’s Square will host the prayer vigil with the Holy Father “Restoring hope, drying tears”.
