Jubilee Year 2025: Events in the Diocese
In his papal bull proclaiming the Jubilee Year 2025, “Spes non confundit. Hope does not disappoint,” the Holy See wrote, “My thoughts turn to all those ‘pilgrims of hope’ who will travel to Rome in order to experience the Holy Year and to all those others who, though unable to visit the City of the Apostles Peter and Paul, will celebrate it in their local Churches.” As Pope Francis points out, we don't have to travel to Rome to participate: dioceses and parishes across the world will mark the Jubilee with pilgrimages, Masses, and other special events throughout the year.
His Excellency Bishop Daniel Miehm has issued a Jubilee Year Indulgence Decree for the Diocese of Peterborough (you can read the full Decree here). The Decree states that four churches throughout the diocese may be visited by the faithful to fulfill the requirements for the indulgence: St. Michael the Archangel in Cobourg; Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lindsay; St. Patrick's in Kearney; and principle among them, the Cathedral of St. Peter-in-Chains in Peterborough.
The Diocese of Peterborough and many of our parishes have planned other Jubilee Year 2025 events, including a diocesan pilgrimage to the Martyr's Shrine in Midland. Check the calendar of events below to learn more. This page will be updated with news about diocesan Jubilee Year events as the information becomes available.
