More than 300 representatives of different forms of consecrated life from more than 60 countries will gather in Rome next Feb. 1-4, 2024, for a meeting to prepare for Jubilee 2025. One religious, one member of a secular institute and one consecrated woman belonging to the Ordo Virginum from each country will experience a new stage in the journey toward the Holy Year to share experiences of life and mission, with the desire to return to their countries with the mandate to continue to be a sign of reconciliation among peoples.
The Jubilee for Consecrated Life
“Pilgrims of hope, on the way of peace” is the theme of the Jubilee for Consecrated Life to be held in Rome on Oct. 8 and 9, 2025. And consecrated men and women want to reflect on the great need for peace, an urgency of our time, to respond to Pope Francis’ call to create, through the Jubilee journey, a climate of hope and trust as a sign of rebirth for all humanity.
