December 24, 20242025 will be a Jubilee Year, with a chance to get a plenary indulgence.
It was announced by Pope John Paul II at the end of the Great Jubilee (December 24, 1999 to January 6, 2001), that there will be a jubilee year every 25 years. Therefore, the year 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, beginning on December 24, 2024 and ending on January 6, 2026.
A Jubilee Year is a special year of grace, in which the Catholic Church offers the faithful the possibility of asking for a plenary indulgence (the remission of sins for themselves or for deceased relatives). A bit different from the secular calendar, the year starts on December 24.
The most well-known rite that starts the Jubilee Year is the opening of the Holy Door in Saint Peter’s Basilica. Normally walled up, the door is opened at this time.
This is followed on successive days by opening the Holy Doors on the other 3 Major Basilicas: Saint John Lateran, Saint Paul Outside the Walls and Saint Mary Major.
These doors remain open until the end of the Jubilee, when they are once again walled up.
There will be other Holy Doors for the 2025 Jubilee Year in addition to the ones in Rome.
For example, the Holy Door at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year the Holy Door was sealed and blessed on the First Sunday of Advent (Dec. 3, 2023) at noon by Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio.
There will undoubtedly be other Holy Doors in churches and shrines throughout the world for those who cannot travel to Rome…we just don’t have all the locations at this time.
Dioceses are customizing activities—some emphasize processions and Masses, others service projects or youth engagement. For example, the Diocese of Saint Petersburg’s Acts of Mercy initiative reflects a practical, community-driven approach.
Cultural and spiritual events, like concerts or exhibitions, may also emerge, inspired by Rome’s calendar (e.g., Jubilee of the World of Communications, January 24–26, 2025).
Since plans are still evolving, many dioceses haven’t finalized full schedules as of March 28, 2025. Check local diocesan websites or the USCCB’s Jubilee 2025 page for updates. The emphasis remains on accessible, hope-filled experiences, whether through travel to sacred sites or acts of charity closer to home
If you plan to travel to Rome for the Jubilee Year, we suggest you check out the many pilgrimages being offered by Select International Tours.

All Day
November 1, 2025All Saints' Day is a Christian holy day celebrated on November 1st to honor all saints, both those recognized by the Church and those who are not, and to remember that the living are in communion with the saints who have died. It is a time to celebrate those who have lived lives of extraordinary faith and to find encouragement from their example.
It is a Holy Day of Obligation in most years; however, not when if falls on a Saturday....which it does in 2025.

November 3, 2025Martín de Porres Velázquez OP was a Peruvian lay brother of the Dominican Order who was beatified in 1837 by Pope Gregory XVI and canonized in 1962 by Pope John XXIII. Euphamistically called "slave to the slaves" because he served the most marginalized people, particularly African slaves, with immense love and compassion, treating them with the same dignity he offered everyone else. He is the patron saint of Black people, mixed-race people, barbers, innkeepers, public health workers, all those seeking racial harmony, and animals.
You will find his shrine in Lima, Peru and also a National Shrine in Memphis, Tennesse

December 24, 20242025 will be a Jubilee Year, with a chance to get a plenary indulgence.
It was announced by Pope John Paul II at the end of the Great Jubilee (December 24, 1999 to January 6, 2001), that there will be a jubilee year every 25 years. Therefore, the year 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, beginning on December 24, 2024 and ending on January 6, 2026.
A Jubilee Year is a special year of grace, in which the Catholic Church offers the faithful the possibility of asking for a plenary indulgence (the remission of sins for themselves or for deceased relatives). A bit different from the secular calendar, the year starts on December 24.
The most well-known rite that starts the Jubilee Year is the opening of the Holy Door in Saint Peter’s Basilica. Normally walled up, the door is opened at this time.
This is followed on successive days by opening the Holy Doors on the other 3 Major Basilicas: Saint John Lateran, Saint Paul Outside the Walls and Saint Mary Major.
These doors remain open until the end of the Jubilee, when they are once again walled up.
There will be other Holy Doors for the 2025 Jubilee Year in addition to the ones in Rome.
For example, the Holy Door at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year the Holy Door was sealed and blessed on the First Sunday of Advent (Dec. 3, 2023) at noon by Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio.
There will undoubtedly be other Holy Doors in churches and shrines throughout the world for those who cannot travel to Rome…we just don’t have all the locations at this time.
Dioceses are customizing activities—some emphasize processions and Masses, others service projects or youth engagement. For example, the Diocese of Saint Petersburg’s Acts of Mercy initiative reflects a practical, community-driven approach.
Cultural and spiritual events, like concerts or exhibitions, may also emerge, inspired by Rome’s calendar (e.g., Jubilee of the World of Communications, January 24–26, 2025).
Since plans are still evolving, many dioceses haven’t finalized full schedules as of March 28, 2025. Check local diocesan websites or the USCCB’s Jubilee 2025 page for updates. The emphasis remains on accessible, hope-filled experiences, whether through travel to sacred sites or acts of charity closer to home

November 21, 2025In what is recognized as an unhistorical account, the Protoevangelium of James tells us that Anna and Joachim offered Mary to God in the Temple when she was 3 years old. This was to carry out a promise made to God when Anna was still childless.
Though it cannot be proven historically, Mary’s presentation has an important theological purpose. It continues the impact of the feasts of the Immaculate Conception and of the birth of Mary. It emphasizes that the holiness conferred on Mary from the beginning of her life on earth continued through her early childhood and beyond.
We celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary on this date

There will undoubtedly be other Holy Doors in churches and shrines throughout the world for those who cannot travel to Rome…we just don’t have all the locations at this time.
Dioceses are customizing activities—some emphasize processions and Masses, others service projects or youth engagement. For example, the Diocese of Saint Petersburg’s Acts of Mercy initiative reflects a practical, community-driven approach.
Cultural and spiritual events, like concerts or exhibitions, may also emerge, inspired by Rome’s calendar (e.g., Jubilee of the World of Communications, January 24–26, 2025).
Since plans are still evolving, many dioceses haven’t finalized full schedules as of March 28, 2025. Check local diocesan websites or the USCCB’s Jubilee 2025 page for updates. The emphasis remains on accessible, hope-filled experiences, whether through travel to sacred sites or acts of charity closer to home

December 24, 20242025 will be a Jubilee Year, with a chance to get a plenary indulgence.
It was announced by Pope John Paul II at the end of the Great Jubilee (December 24, 1999 to January 6, 2001), that there will be a jubilee year every 25 years. Therefore, the year 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, beginning on December 24, 2024 and ending on January 6, 2026.
A Jubilee Year is a special year of grace, in which the Catholic Church offers the faithful the possibility of asking for a plenary indulgence (the remission of sins for themselves or for deceased relatives). A bit different from the secular calendar, the year starts on December 24.
The most well-known rite that starts the Jubilee Year is the opening of the Holy Door in Saint Peter’s Basilica. Normally walled up, the door is opened at this time.
This is followed on successive days by opening the Holy Doors on the other 3 Major Basilicas: Saint John Lateran, Saint Paul Outside the Walls and Saint Mary Major.
