Jubilee of People with Disabilities

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 and the second jubilee celebrated by the current pontiff after the extraordinary one in 2015.

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 two days of 28 and 29 April are dedicated to all persons with disabilities, and those accompanying them. The program of the Jubilee of People with Disabilities includes, on Monday 28 March, the pilgrimage to the Holy Door, with the option of confession in the Jubilee churches, and the celebration of the Mass in St Peter’s Square. On Tuesday 29 March the Jubilee event will close with the meeting with the Holy Father (or his delegate), a welcome lunch in the city gardens and a moment of celebration. Entrance to St. Peter’s Square, on the occasion of the Holy Mass, is completely free and does not require any type of ticket.

The program may be subject to change.
