Celebrate the Jubilee Year with the NRVC Jubilee logo
As you plan ways to celebrate this special Jubilee Year, the NRVC has enhanced the logo to help promote vocations. Feel free to use our NRVC Jubilee Logo and link it to the NRVC 2025 Jubilee Year website. Consider these vocation focused possibilities for the Jubilee Year:
- Reignite the flame of faith: Intentionally choose to visit religious education classes and ask to speak with families, not just the students. Provide fun faith facts with stories of call from scripture and members of your community. Talk about the ways you have overcome adversity, the challenges you have faced, and the people who reignited your flame of faith over the years.
- Share the light of service: Purposely highlight members of your community to draw attention to those who have dedicated countless years to vowed communal life in specific ministries and prayer focused on the people Pope Francis mentions in the Papal Bull: the poor, the young, the migrants, and the elderly.
- Restore relationships: Deliberately choose words and actions that reconcile, heal, and create safe spaces for young adults who feel isolated from the Church. Religious have a long history of being listeners and bridge builders, using non-violent ways to engage in tough conversations. Publicize ways your congregation continues to care for all of creation.
- Be renewed in hope: Vocation directors are tangible signs of hope, and collaboration is one of the best ways to be encouraged. Call the dioceses in which your members serve, ask what is already planned for the Jubilee Year, and get involved. Many dioceses are planning pilgrimages to local shrines, churches, and sacred spaces, so call the Diocesan Office of Liturgy to place your community on the list of pilgrimage sites to visit. Open the doors of your motherhouses, missions, and ministries once again to invite families to learn more about consecrated life!
