The Holy Year
The Archbishop will celebrate the 12 noon Mass in the Cathedral on Sunday 29th December, the Feast of the Holy Family, The 2025 Jubilee is a Catholic Holy Year that will take place from Christmas 2024 to Epiphany 2026. The theme for the year is “Pilgrims of Hope” and is meant to promote peace in a world facing climate change, war, and the effects of the COVID pandemic.
The Preface to the Eucharistic Prayer for the Holy Year
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.
For in this time of grace,
you gather your children into one family
so that, enlightened by the Word of Life, they might joyfully celebrate the mystery of your Son crucified and risen.
He is salvation, ever invoked and awaited, who calls all to his table, heals the wounds of body and spirit,
and to the afflicted gives joy.
Through all these signs of your favour,
we are reborn with living faith to a more certain hope
and we offer ourselves to our brothers and sisters in loving service, as we await the return of the Lord.Through him, with the Angels and all the Saints, we sing the hymn of your praise, as without end we acclaim: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts
