What is the Jubilee Year 2025?
A Jubilee Year is a significant period in the Church’s tradition that fosters holiness through acts of reconciliation and unity with others. The Church observes an Ordinary Jubilee every twenty-five years, with the most recent one held in 2000. The upcoming Jubilee Year in 2025 will offer unique opportunities for grace, including the Sacrament of Reconciliation, local pilgrimages, and the Jubilee Indulgence. During this time, seeking forgiveness and deepening
repentance are important spiritual fruits to nurture.

CSA 2025 Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You call us to be disciples,
to Go Forth with hearts full of faith
and hands ready to serve.
Empower us to follow the example
of your Son, who reached out
to those on the peripheries, the poor,
the lonely and the forgotten.
As we unite in this year's
Catholic Services Appeal
in the Diocese of Gaylord,
open our hearts to generosity,
our minds to compassion
and our lives to your mission.
May the gifts we share today
bring healing to those in need,
hope to those in despair
and strength to your Church
as it proclaims the Gospel.
Send us forth
with courage and conviction,
that we may reflect your love
in our families, communities
and our world.
Guide us in all we do,
that we may walk always in your light
and bear witness to the joy
of being your faithful servants.
Amen
