Medicine Hat’s Catholic schools celebrate Jubilee year

By MEDICINE HAT NEWS on March 18, 2025.

Medicine Hat Catholic schools will engage in Jubilee-themed activities led by school faith leaders and administrators throughout 2025.

The religiously significant year has been celebrated every 25 years by Catholics since 1300 and is used as a time of forgiveness, renewal and spiritual revival. This year is themed “Pilgrims of Hope.”

During the Jubilee year many Catholics make pilgrimages to Rome or other holy sites.

Throughout each in-school month of 2025 students will take part in Jubilee prayers and lessons during school assemblies, as well as pilgrimage opportunities and acts of service within Medicine Hat.

Students will also participate in events held in collaboration with the Diocese of Calgary and the Alberta Catholic School Trustees Association.

MHCBE will also actively highlight a different school’s Jubilee-themed activity or event each month on social media.

The current Jubilee year began Dec. 24, 2024 and will conclude Jan. 6, 2026.
