2025 Jubilee Year: Online Book Group Starting 6 March

Every 25 years, pilgrims from around the world gather in Rome for the Jubilee Year to walk through the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica. This bronze door, intricately depicting the salvation story through sixteen panels, invites us to connect our lives to the timeless journey of Jesus Christ.
In celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year, we’re inviting new and returning members to join us for an online book group beginning March 6. We’ll read Opening the Holy Door by Joan Watson, with scriptural reflections that guide us on a meaningful pilgrimage from home. It’s a wonderful way to embrace the Year of Hope and deepen our faith together. All are welcome!

For more information, please contact Emily Hall at [email protected].

Friends, I would like to share with you my Pastoral Letter, "Walking Together in Communion: Participation and Mission: Reflections on the Synod on Synodality".

In it, I share some of my key hopes, reflections and observations, having returned from the month-long first assembly of the recent Synod of Bishops in Rome.

I thank everyone of you in our Archdiocese for your contributions as clergy, religious or lay faithful. I ask for your prayers for the Synod going forward, that we may be one in the faith of our ancestors, in the hope the Spirit gives and in the love of the Father and the Son that creates and redeems us.
