JUBILEE 2025 – PILGRIMS OF HOPE
“Jubilee” is the name given to a particular year; the name comes from the instrument
used to mark its launch.
In 1300, Pope Boniface VIII called the first Jubilee, also known as a
“Holy Year,” since it is a time in which God’s holiness transforms us. The frequency of Holy Years has changed over time: at first, they were celebrated every 100 years; later, in 1343 Pope Clement VI reduced the gap between Jubilees to every 50 years, and in 1470 Pope Paul II made it every 25 years. There have also been “extraordinary” Holy Years: for example, in 1933 Pope Pius XI chose to commemorate the 1900th anniversary of the Redemption, and in 2015 Pope Francis proclaimed the Year of Mercy as an extraordinary jubilee. The way in which Jubilee Years are marked has also changed through the centuries: originally the Holy Year consisted of a pilgrimage to the Roman Basilicas of St. Peter and St. Paul, later other signs were added, such as the Holy Door. By participating in the Holy Year, one is granted a plenary indulgence.

Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.
Amen.

Mass Cards for Faith and Healing
Think about your friends or loved ones who are facing something difficult right now. They need to know you are thinking about them and praying for them that they can be healed through the power of prayer and strengthened by God’s love. And together, we can all find such comfort in prayer, especially when we pray to our most willing friend St. Anthony, the miracle worker, who hears us and cares for us in our time of need.
Someone in need of spiritual, emotional, or physical healing will find the strength, faith, and courage they need, along with your most heartfelt prayers in the Mass enrollment card.
Today, ask St. Anthony to intercede for you and your loved ones.
These beautiful cards are available in the Parish Office.
Like our Perpetual Mass Cards, your friend or loved one will be registered to receive daily prayer intentions for their faith and healing. Call or visit the Parish Office for more information or to order a card.
Perpetual Mass Cards
You and members of your family, both living and deceased, can be permanently associated with the Franciscan friars by perpetual enrollments. Such perpetual membership enrollments are now widely used as spiritual gifts. They offer appropriate evidence of your sympathy in time of joy or sorrow. The enrollments are available for a relative or friend who has died, for the living, the sick, in commemoration of a feast day; birthday, anniversary or other similar special occasion.
The enrollments confer special spiritual benefits of close association with the Franciscan friars and their apostolic work. Both during life and after death they are in assurance of special remembrance daily in the Masses, prayers, and good works of the Franciscan fraternity. Call the Parish Office to request a Perpetual Mass Card for your loved one.
In Memoriam & In Lieu of Flowers
In Memoriam and In Lieu of Flowers cards are now available. They can help families make a special gift to the Church in honor of a loved one. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4
If you are interested, please pick up a pamphlet at the back of the church or contact the parish office.
Weekly Mass Intentions
Special Occasions and Anniversaries – The celebration of Mass for a deceased loved one on an important anniversary is a very meaningful and caring expression of love for that person. It is an important part of our Catholic tradition. Please contact the Parish Office at 416-651-7875 to request a Mass Intention.
