2025 Jubilee: Pilgrims of Hope

Diocesan Jubilee Cross-Anchor Information Sheet

 

As you may have heard, 2025 is the Universal Catholic Church's next Jubilee Year. Each Diocese is invited to plan ways to bring the Jubilee to life and spread a message of hope.

The Diocesan Jubilee Committee is excited to announce that a Diocesan Jubilee Cross-Anchor has been created. Our Diocesan Symbol will travel throughout the Diocese to raise awareness of the Jubilee and gather personal prayer intentions, which will be offered at the closing Jubilee celebration at the Cathedral at the end of 2025.

**************

Why use the symbol of a Cross-Anchor?

Many face circumstances in their daily lives and witness events in the broader world that call for greater hope. Two well-known symbols of hope, a cross and an anchor, were combined into one symbol and are part of the 2025 Jubilee: Pilgrims of Hope logo.

​

Will the Diocesan Symbol come to my parish?

The Diocesan Cross-Anchor will be in each parish during the Jubilee Year.

​

What is the travel plan for the Diocesan Symbol?

A date has been set for the parishioners of each Deanery to pilgrimage to Sacred Heart Cathedral, where the pilgrims will collect the Diocesan Cross-Anchor and bring it back to their Deanery. The dates are:

​

2025 Jubilee: Pilgrims of Hope … Deanery Pilgrimage Dates

​

Deanery One: January 11              Deanery Two: April 26

Deanery Three: February 22          Deanery Six: September 13

Deanery Four: March 15                 Deanery Five: October 18​

​

What will the pilgrims do while at the Cathedral?

The pilgrims will be given a tour, have time for prayer, and have an opportunity for reconciliation. They will spend approximately two hours at the Cathedral.

​

What if I missed my deanery’s visit to the Cathedral?

​Everyone is welcome to attend any of the Deanery Pilgrimage events.
