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 inaugurated by Pope Francis 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 or a delegate.
The days from 15 to 16 November are specially addressed to people in need and distress, with the aim of highlighting their dignity and rights, promoting reflection and encouraging concrete acts of solidarity and compassion. The Jubilee of the Poor will begin on Saturday 15 November with a pilgrimage to the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica and opportunities for confession in the Jubilee churches. The following day, on the 9th World Day of the Poor, the pontiff will preside over Holy Mass in St. Peter’s Square (at 10:00 a.m.): the celebration is open to all and free of charge, with no ticket required. Afterwards, at 12.30 p.m. in the Paul VI Hall, the pontiff will participate in a lunch organized by the Dicastery for the Service of Charity.
The program is subject to change.
