Our pilgrim passports have been given out to the people of God with the hope of encouraging one to enter into the tremendous grace flowing in this Jubilee Year. As we make our pilgrimages to the holy sites and make our prayerful indulgences, we receive so much grace to help us live a blessed and holy life. May the Grace of the Jubilee help us to forgive and forget and to enter what God’s will is for us.
At the end of the year, we will have a memento that we can keep. A beautiful sign of our participation in this holy year and a sign that will remind us of the grace that flowed into our hearts and into the life of the church in this year 2025. We encourage you to get your passport. Let it be special to you and receive the grace that God wants for every one of us during this year.
