‘In this Jubilee Year may we, as Pilgrims of Hope guided by the Holy Spirit, truly recognize the spark of hope that dwells in the heart of each person we encounter, that desire for and expectation of good things and happiness. May we, Pilgrims of Hope, enkindle and fan into flame that hope with our proclamation in word and deed that Jesus is alive, that he loves us, and is the fulfillment of all our truest desires and dreams!’
We are encouraged to make pilgrimage in this jubilee year of hope. If the Holy Doors in Rome are not a possibility, diocesan pilgrimage sites are:
- The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Saint John, on first Saturdays, with special events to be announced throughout the jubilee year
- Our Lady of Mount Carmel Shrine in Howard (Good Shepherd Parish) Annual Shrine Mass July 13, 2025, 3:00 pm
- Saint Francis of Assisi Shrine in Skiff Lake (St. John the Baptist Parish) Annual Shrine Mass August 10, 2025, 11:00 am
- Saint Michael’s Basilica (St. Michael the Archangel Parish, Miramichi) Mass for the Vigil of the feast of St. Michael the Archangel, September 28, 2025, 5:30 pm
