Churches welcome pilgrims for Jubilee 2025
January 15, 2025
During a Jubilee year, the Catholic Church establishes certain practices the faithful can undertake which grant special graces. Among the graces established for the Jubilee of Hope 2025 are pilgrimages.
Bishop William Joensen has identified the five churches listed below as churches of pilgrimage during this Jubilee year.
Each has “passport” postcards available. Take a passport postcard and stamp it with a special Jubilee passport stamp that will be available at each of the pilgrimage sites.
If you visit all five Jubilee churches, post a picture on social media and tag @dmdiocese or send a picture of your passport booklet to the Diocese at communications@dmdiocese.org. We will send you a book by Pope Francis to use as you continue your faith journey.
