Jubilee at St Anne's
What is a Jubilee?Taking place every 25 years, a Jubilee year is a tradition that is recognised and respected throughout the world as being a significant part of the history of our faith.
Excluding the Extraordinary Year of Mercy in 2016, the last Jubilee year took place in 2000, marking an historic moment as the Church entered into her third millennium.
A Jubilee is a special year of grace, in which the Catholic Church offers the faithful the possibility of asking for a plenary indulgence – a remission of sins for themselves or deceased loved ones.
The year begins with the well-known custom of the opening of the Holy Door at St Peter’s Basilica, following the other three papal basilicas in Rome. The Pope grants permission for Holy Doors to be situated throughout the world for Catholics everywhere to take part in this most special rite. Our door of Hope can be found in our school hall.
These Years, the Church explains, are years “of reconciliation between adversaries, of conversion and receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation, ‘…and consequently of solidarity, hope, justice, commitment to serve God with joy and in peace with our brothers and sisters’.
How we marked the launch of Pilgrimage of hope at St Anne’s
On 24th January 2025 (launch day) we had a Celebration of the Word, where we heard scripture that linked to being Pilgrims of Hope in our school. We learnt about the chosen logo for this Jubilee year and explored the meaning of the Logo.
We learnt that the four figures, represents everyone on earth, (all different kinds of people from all different places on earth).
What discussed what the red figure is holding and wondered why. We also learnt about the area below the figures. We were asked to think about and suggest over the next few weeks how we could be, ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ during this school year. Next, we linked Cathoilc Social Teaching principles to this special work we are doing for God and realized it linked with all of the principles and we suggested why they linked.
Lastly, we thought about how we will begin our school journey of hope and we will do this in the following ways. Over the year we will:
- plan opportunities to respond to God's call to turn to him
- strive for justice,
- renew our relationship with God with our neighbours and with the earth itself
Look out for updates that will show what we are doing.
The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.Amen
