A Note About the 2025-26 Jubilee, Pilgrims of Hope:
Archbishop Hartmayer celebrated Mass on December 29, 2024, to officially begin the Jubilee Holy Year. In his homily address Archbishop Hartmayer stated, “The goal of a Jubilee Year is to inspire, and encourage holiness of life, and therefore to strengthen the churches witness to God’s loving mercy in and for the world.”
