Happy 2025 everyone.

1 January is the feast of Mary the Mother of God. It marks the end of the Octave of Christmas. We now move into the Christmas season so it is not "all over"!

Let us remember today Pope Benedict XVI, who returned to the Father's house on this day two years ago.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace.

May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

You can find Pope Francis's Christmas message below.

“This Christmas, the beginning of the Jubilee year, I invite you to silence your weapons and overcome divisions.” This was the Pope's Christmas message a few hours after opening the Holy Door and beginning a new Jubilee.

24/12/2024

The 2025 Jubilee (or Holy Year) dedicated to Hope - will officially open at 6pm tonight, (UK time) with the Opening of the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter by the Holy Father, who will then preside over the celebration of the Night Mass of the Lord's Birth inside the Basilica.
At the moment the door opens, bells will peal to proclaim the solemn moment, marking the beginning of a year of grace for the world.
It will be possible to follow the event only through the giant screens installed in St. Peter's Square but also on television with live broadcasts scheduled by EWTN and Vatican Media.

On December 26, 2024, the feast of St Stephen, Pope Francis will open a Holy Door in the Roman prison of Rebibbia, marking a historic moment in the history of Jubilee years. It will be the first time that in addition to the Holy Doors opened in the four Roman Papal Basilicas - one will also be opened in a penal institution too.
On December 29, 2024, the Holy Door of St. John Lateran’s Basilica – the Cathedral of Rome – will be opened, and ceremonies will be held in every Cathedral in the world to open the Holy Year in local dioceses.
Archbishop Nolan will preside at the 12 noon Mass opening the Holy Year in the Archdiocese of Glasgow.
On January 1, 2025, the Solemnity of Mary Most Holy, Mother of God, the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of St Mary Major’s will be opened. Finally, on Sunday, January 5, the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls will be opened and the Jubilee will be fully operational.
It is expected that 35 million pilgrims will go to Rome to take part in the Holy Year events.
