The Church is celebrating an extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, a tenet of our faith that Pope Francis sees as one of the cornerstones of the Church. You are invited to celebrate the Jubilee Year of Mercy by living Lent more intensely.
The Pope asks us, as a faith community to focus on God's unconditional love, inviting each of us to celebrate the Jubilee by praying, making pilgrimages to the Holy Doors and serving the poor so that we can be conduits of God's mercy in everything we do and say.
