2025 Jubilee Year: Pilgrims of Hope

Every 25 years, the Holy Church celebrates a Jubilee Year, a year of grace and reconciliation.

During this Holy Year, we may obtain indulgences if we:
visit a pilgrimage site; go to confession within 20 days, before or after the visit;

receive Holy Communion on that day; are free from the attachment of sin;

and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father (an Our Father, Hail Mary & Glory Be).

Here are local pilgrimage sites:
Cathedral of the Holy Cross (Boston)
Fatima Shrine (Holliston)
Sacred Heart of Jesus Church (Milford)
Immaculate Conception Church (Marlboro)

An indulgence is “the remission in the sight of God of the temporal punishment

due to sins, the guilt of which has already been forgiven” (Canon 922).

Indulgences may be applied to:

one’s own soul; all holy souls in purgatory, or a specific soul in purgatory.
