Bishop Robert Brennan stated, "How appropriate that was as every once in a while, we have to stop in our tracks, go back, find Jesus in our lives and see him in new ways. To the faithful in Brooklyn and Queens, I extend this invitation to go forth and begin your journey as a joyful, missionary disciple of Jesus, giving witness to the tenderness and nearness of God's own love."
Pope Francis proclaimed 2025 as The Jubilee of Hope, emphasizing a central theme of "hope does not disappoint" and inviting Catholics worldwide to become "pilgrims of hope."
A jubilee year, declared by the pope approximately every 25 years, fosters an environment of pilgrimage, prayer, and repentance, encouraging acts of kindness and reflection on one’s spiritual life.
Catholics are encouraged to make pilgrimages to Rome, attend local church events, and practice good deeds, such as visiting nursing homes, as part of the Jubilee Year.
