Peace
The World Day of Peace is observed each year on January 1, the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. Since its establishment in 1967 by Pope St Paul VI, the Popes have taken the occasion to offer magisterial reflections in Messages for the day, dealing with topics such as the United Nations, human rights, diplomacy, and economic development. The theme chosen by the Holy Father for the World Day of Peace for 2025 is, “Forgive us our trespasses: grant us your peace”, corresponding to “the biblical and ecclesial understanding of the Jubilee Year”.Diocese Year of Prayer 2024 and
Jubilee Year 2025 resources
In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year 'Pilgrims of Hope', 2024 has been designated a Year of Prayer by Pope Francis, starting this Advent.

The Gift of Your Presence: Peace
Second Sunday of Advent, Sunday 08 December The Second Sunday of Advent calls us to make straight the paths for the Lord in our own hearts and in the world around us. Peace is not merely the absence of conflict; it is the fullness of God’s presence. The readings this week call us to make straight the paths for the Lord in our own hearts and in the world around us. Baruch envisages God’s people being led home in joy and peace, and John the Baptist invites us to clear the obstacles that prevent us from fully welcoming Christ into our lives and into our hearts.More info….Jubilee pilgrimage for people with
