Jubilee Pilgrimages 2025

What is a Jubilee Year?

A Holy Year of the forgiveness of sin, conversion and joyful celebration.
The word “jubilee” comes from the Hebrew word yobel, which refers to the ram’s horn used to announce a jubilee in the Old Testament. The Diocese of Gaylord is coordinating two pilgrimages during the Jubilee year. Learn more about the history of a Jubilee year here
