Jubilee 2025 Pilgrims of Hope 

“I am pleased to announce the pilgrimage sites designated for the 2025 Jubilee of Hope in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. These sacred locations will serve as spiritual havens for all pilgrims seeking renewal and grace. Each site has been thoughtfully chosen to reflect our rich heritage and the vibrant faith of our community. I invite you to join us in this journey of reflection, prayer, and unity. Together, let us embrace the spirit of hope in this blessed year.” 
Most Rev. John C. Wester, Archbishop of Santa Fe

"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 a 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; that is why I have chosen as the motto of the Jubilee Pilgrims of Hope. This will indeed be the case if we are capable of recovering a sense of universal fraternity and refuse to turn a blind eye to the tragedy of rampant poverty that prevents millions of men, women, young people, and children from living in a manner worthy of our human dignity. Here, I think, in particular, of the many refugees forced to abandon their native lands. May the voices of the poor be heard throughout this time of preparation for the Jubilee, which is meant to restore access to the fruits of the earth to everyone."

~Excerpt from the Letter from Pope Francis for the Promotion of the New Evangelization for the Jubilee 2025

Deacons from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and their wives spent three days in Rome in February 2025, joining 4,000 other “servants” for the 2025 Jubilee of Hope. The group joined a group of deacons and their wives from San Diego. Deacons from various countries, including the United States, France, Brazil, India, Cameroon, and Australia, traveled to Rome for the Jubilee pilgrimage. 

The deacon group visited six of the seven pilgrim churches in Rome, four of which contained Holy Doors. As the group walked through the Holy Doors at Saint Peter’s Basilica, Fr. Chris Hallada (Our Lady of Guadalupe) prayed and guided the group through the doors to fully understand their significance. Many group members had tears running down their cheeks as they proceeded through the Holy Doors. 

On Sunday, 4,000 deacons participated in the Mass, which included the ordination of some permanent deacons. Pope Francis did not attend due to his recent illness but was held in prayer throughout the service. Although Pope Francis was not present to lead the service, the experience was overwhelming. What Mass at the Vatican could not be? The group was so grateful to be there and to participate in the celebration.  The sea of white Dalmatics was breathtaking, providing a vision and an experience that will not be forgotten.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Where are the Holy Doors in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe?
There are no Holy Doors in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. The Holy Door for the Jubilee Year is at St. Peter's in Rome. The doors of the Cathedral in Santa Fe were used to open the Jubilee Year here in the archdiocese.

What If the Mass Intentions at a Jubilee Parish are full through most of the year? 
Pilgrimage parishes are encouraged to include pilgrims in their Mass intentions for the Jubilee Mass on the first Sunday of the month. If the intentions for that Mass are already taken, then the pilgrims can be included in the Prayer of the Faithful.

What is an Indulgence and how does one gain an Indulgence? The Vatican's Decree on the Granting of the Indulgence states, "During the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025, by will of the Supreme Pontiff, this 'Court of Mercy', which Is responsible for all that concerns the granting and use of indulgences, wishing to encourage the souls of the faithful and nourish the pious desire to obtain the Indulgence seen as a gift of grace specific to each Holy Year, establishes the following indications, so that the faithful may take advantage of the 'norms for obtaining and rendering spiritually fruitful the practice of the Jubilee indulgence' (Spes non confundit, 23). During the Ordinary Jubilee of 2025, all other indulgences previously granted remain in force. All the faithful, who are truly repentant and free from any affection for sin (cf. Enchiridion Indulgent/arum, IV ed., norm. 20, § 1), who are moved by a spirit of charity and who, during the Holy Year, purified through the sacrament of penance and refreshed by Holy Communion, pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff, will be able to obtain from the treasury of the Church a plenary indulgence, with remission and forgiveness of all their sins, which can be applied in suffrage to the souls in Purgatory in the following ways":

• Pilgrimages - The faithful, pilgrims of hope, will be able to obtain the Jubilee Indulgence granted by the Holy Father if they undertake a pious pilgrimage by visiting the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi or other pilgrimage sites in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe;
  

• Pious visits to sacred places - Likewise, the faithful can obtain the Jubilee Indulgence if, individually or in a group, they devoutly visit any Jubilee site and there, for a suitable period of time, engage in Eucharistic adoration and meditation, concluding with the Our Father, the Profession of Faith in any legitimate form, and invocations to Mary, the Mother of God, so that in this Holy Year everyone "will come to know the closeness of Mary, the most affectionate of mothers, who never abandons her children" (Spes non confundit, 24);

• Works of mercy and penance - In addition, the faithful will be able to obtain the Jubilee Indulgence if, with a devout spirit, they participate in popular missions, spiritual exercises, or formation activities on the documents of the Second Vatican Council and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, held in a church or other suitable place, according to the mind of the Holy Father.
