Pilgrims of Hope 2025

Archbishop Richard Henning formally initiated the Jubilee Year of 2025 in the Archdiocese of Boston with an opening Mass celebrated in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross on Dec. 29, the Feast of the Holy Family. The year, titled “Pilgrims of Hope,” was announced by Pope Francis in 2022. Pope Francis formally began the Jubilee Year in Rome on Dec. 24 when he opened the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica. The opening Mass in Boston started a year of prayer and spiritual renewal throughout the archdiocese, including Masses, confessions, adoration, and special events at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and 10 pilgrimage churches.
