The Launch of the Jubilee Year

This year is very special for the Catholic Church as we celebrate the Jubilee Year. To begin our celebrations in school the G.I.F.T team led a whole school worship. They did a fantastic job of letting everyone know why Catholics are celebrating the Jubilee Year, how this will be done and how we will celebrate in school. During the Jubilee many Catholics take a pilgrimage to Rome. Here they are are able to connect with God and make a renewed commitment to their faith. The theme of Jubilee 2025 is hope. Hope helps us not to give up and tells us something new and bright is coming. God gives us hope. The symbol shows a colourful image representing people from different countries in unity. The anchor symbolises God's love. There is a figure holding the cross at the front and there are rough waves underneath symbolising the difficult times we pass through in life.
