Archbishop Miller's pastoral letter

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The Jubilee Year of Hope is a profoundly significant and grace-filled year for our Archdiocese. It offers us unique opportunities to deepen our relationship with God and one another. Pope Francis encourages us to be “pilgrims of hope” on our journey to the Father’s House (cf. John 14:2). In this Pastoral Letter, I wish to share with you the blessings of this Jubilee Year and inspire you to strengthen your hope in Christ.

What is the Jubilee Year?

A Jubilee Year is celebrated by the Universal Church every 25 years. This special year is dedicated to encouraging the faithful to embark on pilgrimages, repent of their sins, forgive others’ sins, and renew their focus on spiritual life.

Obtain the Jubilee indulgence

The faithful can receive a plenary indulgence during the Jubilee Year by visiting one of the three sacred locations designated by Archbishop Miller, provided they also meet the additional conditions established for receiving the indulgence.
