The Jubilee Year 2025 and the Eastern Catholic Churches

The Jubilee Year is now upon us, an event that is significant for all humanity. For Christians, it is a moment to reflect on the presence in our midst of Jesus Christ, the Lord of history and the inexhaustible source of our hope. The Catholic Church desires this time of grace to be an occasion to reveal the richness of the different traditions that converge in full communion. The Eastern Catholic Churches – whose Jubilee will take place from 12 to 14 May 2025, marked by celebrations in the various rites – are thus called throughout this Holy Year to highlight their distinctive identity as part of that communion. With the present pastoral guide, the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches hopes to contribute to a fuller and more effective celebration of the Holy Year by providing information useful for both the clergy and the lay faithful. Part I highlights certain elements of the Eastern heritage that are particularly relevant in reference to the Holy Year. Parts II and III offer practical, albeit concise, assistance to the faithful of the Eastern Churches who make a Jubilee pilgrimage to Rome by pointing out events and places of encounter between Rome and the East in such a way as to enrich their journey of faith.
