About this Event
Pope Francis declared 2025 a Year of Jubilee.
This event will explore what a Jubilee Year is in the context of the year's theme: Pilgrims of Hope'.
We'll have inspiring talks on preparing spiritually for the year ahead and hear from pilgrims who have visited sites of pilgrimage and the impact that it had on their lives.
By the end of the event you will be equipped to make the most of the celebratory Jubilee Year 2025!
