Jubilee of Priests


The Jubilee of Priests is an event of profound importance within the context of the Jubilee of Mercy, proclaimed by Pope Francis in 2015. This special moment is dedicated to all priests, recognizing their precious contribution to the life of the Church and the care of souls.

During the Jubilee of Priests, meetings, spiritual retreats, and liturgical celebrations are organized, offering priests the opportunity to renew their vocation and pastoral commitment. Reflections delve into the profound meaning of priesthood and the mission to proclaim the Gospel and guide the people of God on the path of salvation.

This event is also an occasion to recognize the sacrifices and challenges that priests face in their ministry and to express gratitude for their generous and faithful service. The beauty of the priestly vocation and the importance of their role in the ecclesial community and society are celebrated.

The Jubilee of Priests testifies to the Church’s commitment to support and encourage its priests in their journey of holiness and service. Through this event, the Church invites all the faithful to pray for their priests, to support them with affection and gratitude, and to collaborate with them in the mission of proclaiming the Gospel and witnessing the love of Christ.
