Officially started with the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on 24 December 2024, the Jubilee 2025 is the 27th ordinary universal jubilee in the history of the Church and the second jubilee inaugurated by Pope Francis after the extraordinary one in 2015.
The entire jubilee period is characterized by a rich calendar of religious, cultural and social events. Aside from celebrations and rituals addressed to all the faithful, the Holy Year’s program includes several “jubilees” dedicated to different categories of people, identified according to specific professions or their role within the family, the Church and society. Each one includes moments of dialogue and spirituality, with a concluding mass celebrated by the pope or a delegate.
The days from 4 to 5 October are dedicated to both the missionary world and to meeting, praying and sharing with communities of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, together with volunteers. The celebrations will begin on Saturday 4 October with a meeting with the Pope in St Peter’s Square (at 10 a.m.) and a pilgrimage to the Holy Door of St Peter’s Basilica (from 2 p.m.), with opportunities for confession in the Jubilee churches. The following day, at 10.30 a.m., Sunday Mass will be celebrated in the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls. In the afternoon, from 3 to 6 p.m., the city will come alive with the Festa dei Popoli (Peoples’ Festival).
