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 8 and 9 March are dedicated to the world of volunteering, to remember the role played by non-profit organizations, NGOs, social workers and volunteers from all associations working for the benefit of the community. The celebrations begin on Saturday 8 March with a pilgrimage to the Holy Door, with the possibility of confession in the Jubilee churches, followed by cultural, artistic and spiritual activities in some of the city’s squares. The Jubilee of the World of Volunteering closes on Sunday 9 March with the mass presided over by the pontiff: entrance to St Peter’s Square is completely free on this occasion and does not require any type of ticket.
The program may be subject to change.
