JUBILEE YEAR 2025 “PILGRIMS OF HOME”
What is Jubilee Year?
On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis opened the Holy Door of Saint Peter’s Basilica and officially inaugurated the 2025 Jubilee of Hope. During his Christmas evening Mass, he reassured the faithful that the Christ Child of Bethlehem offers the world infinite hope and joy. Pope Francis has declared that the year 2025 will be a Holy Year of Jubilee for the Catholic Church – an event that takes place once every 25 years. The theme for the 2025 Jubilee is “Pilgrims of Hope,” inviting us to showcase the hope of our Christian faith to people worldwide. It comes at a time when the impact of war, poverty, climate change, and the lasting effects of the COVID pandemic cause much suffering.

Holy Trinity Catholic Church: A Jubilee Pilgrimage Destination
It’s truly a blessing that Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dorchester has been designated as a Jubilee Pilgrimage Site for the Holy Year 2025among the four chosen churches across Devon, Cornwall, and Dorset under the Diocese of Plymouth. The other honoured churches under the Diocese are the Cathedral in Plymouth, St. Cuthbert Mayne Church in Launceston, and the National Shrine of St. Boniface in Crediton. In this special Jubilee Year, everyone is invited to visit these four churches in Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset.
This recognition brings a special opportunity for spiritual enrichment and reflection for pilgrims visiting these sacred sites. Let’s join together in this blessed journey and celebrate the Jubilee Year with heartfelt devotion.
Our Diocese of Plymouth has created a Pilgrims of Hope passport, designed by Fr Jonathan Stewart for those pilgrims visiting sites and will also be creating ways for those unable to walk or travel, to visit these sacred spaces virtually. Please download the copy of your Pilgrim Passport:
Jubilee Passport A5 with stamps. This Jubilee Year is a time to restore relationships with God, each other, and all creation. Amid global challenges, it offers hope and reconciliation. All are welcome to visit these sacred sites, whether as part of an organised pilgrimage or creating personal pilgrimage routes.
