This Year of Jubilee officially begins on Christmas Eve with the opening of the Holy Door in St Peter’s Basilica. Holy Doors are one of the most characteristic signs of the Jubilee, inviting pilgrims to walk through as a reminder of this text from John 10:9-10: “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pastures.” It is an invitation to express our desire to follow Christ, the Good Shepherd.
This Jubilee Year, four Holy Doors will be in situ across the City of Rome but Dioceses across the world will have Designated Churches to offer pilgrims that same experience right on their doorstep.
Bishop John has appointed six churches across the Diocese, in addition to the Cathedral’s temporary church, to be Designated Churches for the Jubilee Year.
