JUBILEE 2025
Pilgrims of Hope
Welcome to Jubilee 2025 at SFA Church!

The Jubilee Year is a sacred time of grace and renewal in the Catholic Church, celebrated every 25 years and rooted in the ancient traditions of jubilation and reconciliation. Proclaimed by the Holy Father, this extraordinary year invites the faithful to deepen their relationship with God, foster unity with one another and all of creation, and experience the boundless mercy of our loving Father. Jubilee 2025, with the theme “Pilgrims of Hope”, calls us to live as bearers of Christ’s light, embracing hope and sharing it with the world.

May the Jubilee be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, the “door” of our salvation, whom the Church is charged to proclaim always, everywhere and to all as “our hope”.

A Message from Our Parish Priest

Dear Friends in Christ,

​

Peace and goodness to you! As we embark on this Jubilee Year, I warmly invite you to join us at SFA Church, a designated Jubilee Pilgrim Church, as we celebrate this time of grace and renewal. This sacred year is an opportunity for us to deepen our faith, strengthen our bonds as a community, and encounter God’s love and mercy in transformative ways.

​

Through prayer, pilgrimage, and the sharing of our faith, we journey together as “Pilgrims of Hope,” embracing the call to live as joyful missionary disciples of Christ. At SFA Church, we are delighted to offer a rich array of Jubilee events, pilgrimages, and spiritual formation to inspire and guide you on this path.

​​

I look forward to welcoming you and walking with you on this sacred journey. May this Jubilee Year bring abundant blessings to you and your loved ones.

​

Yours in Christ,
Father Paul Cheong, OFM. Cap

The Jubilee Year is a time to re-establish a proper relationship with:
God
One Another
All of Creation
Jubilee Churches: A Pilgrim’s Destination of Grace

Jubilee Churches are specially designated places of worship during the Holy Year, providing pilgrims with a unique opportunity to experience God’s grace through prayer, pilgrimages, and Jubilee community events. These churches serve as spiritual sanctuaries where pilgrims can deepen their faith, fulfill the conditions for a plenary indulgence, and forge meaningful connections with the broader Catholic community. Each Jubilee Church carries its own distinctive historical, spiritual, or cultural significance, making them meaningful destinations for pilgrims seeking renewal and a personal encounter with God.
