Welcome to the Jubilee Year
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I warmly urge you to embrace the Church’s 2025 Jubilee Year with open hearts. This sacred time is a profound gift, inviting us to renew our faith, seek reconciliation, and rediscover the boundless mercy of God. It is an opportunity to grow closer to Christ and extend His love to those in need. Let us come together as a community of faith, celebrating this season of grace through prayer, sacraments, and acts of charity. May this Jubilee, initiated by Pope Francis and celebrated worldwide, transform our hearts and deepen our commitment to the teachings of the Gospel.
Peace,
+ Michael T. Martin, OFM Conv.
Bishop of Charlotte
