The Jubilee Year
2025 has been designated as a Jubilee Year by Pope Francis. We are all invited to enter into a special year of forgiveness and reconciliation, strengthening our relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation. We have a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our Catholic faith during Jubilee 2025 – and we can do this in a wide variety of ways.
St Patrick’s Pilgrimage throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope!
Throughout the year, house meetings have taken place upon each of the themes of the Jubilee. These meetings were pupil led and included a retreat and ways to live out each theme.
