Jubilee Year of Consecrated Life, Oct. 8-9, 2025

Oct. 8-9, 2025 will be celebrated as a Jubilee for Consecrated Life with the theme of "Pilgrims of hope, on the way of peace." This special Jubilee is born out of the desire of consecrated men and women to reflect on the urgent need for peace and to answer the call to be witnesses and prophets of hope and peace, particularly on the occasion of the upcoming Jubilee.
