On May 9, 2024, Pope Francis announced the Jubilee Year 2025 with a papal bull called Spes non confundit, which translates to "hope does not disappoint".

The Jubilee Year will conclude in Rome on January 6, 2026. I am inviting you to participate in a pilgrimage that seeks to renew your faith, grow in holiness and recharge your Hope.
