Pope Francis has proclaimed 2025 as a Jubilee Year, inviting Catholics around the world to embark on spiritual renewal as Pilgrims of Hope. The Jubilee concludes on the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6, 2026.
In Spes Non Confundit (“Hope does not disappoint”), the document issued by Pope Francis to formally announce the 2025 Jubilee Year, he encourages renewal, unity, and faith, emphasizing themes of mercy, solidarity, and care for the vulnerable. Hope that is grounded in God’s love and sustained by patience is essential for navigating life’s challenges and uncertainties, especially in a world where many people feel discouraged or pessimistic about the future.
We invite you to contemplate weekly reflections, as featured on page 3 of our Sunday bulletin, on the need for prayer, repentance, and renewed faith as we embrace the call to hope.
On this web page, you’ll find resources and opportunities to participate—whether through Catholic initiatives and events calendars in New York State, in our diocese, and our own parish gatherings. Check back for updates on how Our Lady Queen of Martyrs will celebrate this Jubilee Year.
