On the Solemnity of the Epiphany 2026, Pope Leo XIV will close the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica and celebrate the Mass that marks the conclusion of the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope.

On this occasion, he will also invite pilgrims to return to Rome in 2033 for an Extraordinary Holy Year of Redemption, commemorating the 2000th anniversary of the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection.

This Holy Year has reminded us that hope is not wishful thinking, but trust rooted in God’s faithful love. Christ has walked with us in joy and in trial, renewing our hearts and strengthening our faith.

The Jubilee sends us forth as people of hope, called to build bridges, heal wounds, welcome the forgotten, and witness to God’s mercy.

Our parish can indeed become a living sign of hope by trusting God and living the Gospel in simple ways. Hope grows through prayer and the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, adoration, and praying for one another.

Hope is built through welcoming and caring for others.

Hope is strengthened through service and stewardship and renewed by joyful evangelization.

These are the pastoral priorities guiding our parish.
