Pope Francis has written a letter to families, parishes and religious communities in the Diocese of Rome urging them to host young pilgrims during events for the upcoming Jubilee of Hope.
In his 11 December letter, addressed to Cardinal Baldassare Reina, vicar of Rome, the Pope said that the 2025 Jubilee year “is rapidly approaching and our diocese is preparing for the great event”.
“The Holy Year will see the presence in Rome of many pilgrims from every part of the earth,” the Holy Father said, while also highlighting the 25-27 April Jubilee for Adolescents and the 28 July-3 August Jubilee for Young People that are scheduled in 2025.
