Jubilee 2025 - Pilgrims of Hope
What is the Jubilee?
- A Jubilee is a significant moment in the life of the Church that happens every 25 years.
- Biblically, the Jubilee is a time of renewal, celebration, rest and freedom.
- In Old Testament times, debts were cancelled, prisoners and enslaved people were freed, and even the land was able to rest.
- Pope Francis has called this Jubilee Year ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. It’s an invitation to renew our hope, a hope which comes from knowing that God loves each one of us, whoever we are.
- He has asked us to be signs of hope for others, by putting Catholic Social Teaching into action through caring for our common home, and supporting our sisters and brothers who are experiencing war, hunger or poverty.
Holy Doors Celebration of the word - December 2024
As we approach the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope, Pope Francis asks us to be signs of hope in the world. We gathered together as a school for Celebration of the word, to reflect on the significance of the Holy doors being opened.
Jubilee Launch - Jan 2025
On Friday 24th January we gathered together as a school for Celebration of the word to launch this special Jubilee year. All children were given the opportunity to write a pledge, reflecting on what social action they can take to care for our communities and to increase their understanding of the principles of CST.
Hope in a bag
We collected donations of warm clothing, blankets and toiletries to fill 'rucksacks of hope' with these essential items, for those living on the streets of Warrington. Our children and their families have given generously to this wonderful covenant.
