Pope Francis has called the global Church to celebrate the Jubilee together, with deep faith, lively hope, and active charity. In this very special year, we are all invited to journey together as pilgrims of hope, putting faith into action to build a better world for everyone. The children each have a Pilgrims of Hope Map in class with suggested jubilee activities.
