We are excited to announce that Aquinas College will host several intellectual programs in celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope. 

What is a Jubilee? 

The Jubilee is a holy year of celebration and renewal, which is often celebrated by receiving the sacraments, making pilgrimages, and performing acts of mercy. 

In his inauguration of the year, Pope Francis called us to become "Pilgrims of Hope." He stated, "We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire..."  

The 2025 Jubilee officially opens on December 24, 2024 at 7 p.m. Visit the official Vatican Jubilee 2025 Website for more information.
