2025 Jubilee Year: Pilgrims of Hope
This year is a special Jubilee year. This only happens every 25 years in the Catholic Church!
Pope Francis has called this Jubilee Year ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. It’s an invitation to renew our hope;
a hope which comes from knowing that God loves each one of us, whoever we are.
He has asked us to be signs of hope for others, by putting Catholic Social Teaching into action through caring for our common home, and supporting our sisters and brothers who are experiencing war, hunger or poverty.
Jubilee Year Launch Assembly - 24th January
Our R.E leaders launched our Year of Jubilee on Friday 24th January with a whole school assembly outlining our plans to embrace the ide of being ' Pilgrims of Hope'! The children detailed the importance of living our faith not just in our words but in our actions!
This is the logo for our Jubilee year! It is full of symbolism and helps us to remember the focus of this special time.
- The cross: The large cross at the centre reminds us of Jesus, and is a symbol of faith and hope.
- The people: The four figures represent all people on earth. Their arms are around each other to show solidarity and friendship, and that we should be one, united global family.
- The waves: The flowing waves symbolise our pilgrimage together and that life’s journey is not always smooth, sometimes the journey can be rough and challenging
- The anchor: The anchor is a symbol of hope. It steadies ships during storms and rough weather
