The Jubilee Year 2025 and the Eastern Catholic Churches

Pastoral Guide

In fidelity to the wish expressed by the Holy Father in the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee Spes non confundit, the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches has prepared a guide, available in Italian and English, entitled The Jubilee Year 2025 and the Eastern Catholic Churches. A digital version of the work has also been published as a Kindle eBook (www.orientecattolico.com/kindle/), and almost the whole volume is available free of charge on the official website of this Institution (www.orientchurch.va/pubblicazioni.html).

The text, of a pastoral nature, aims to inspire in the faithful a renewed attention to the historical and spiritual riches of the Christian East. The first part highlights how the contents of the Eastern traditions can help individual local Churches, each according to its own specific identity, to live the Holy Year, especially in the Liturgy.

The second part is designed for pilgrims who will find in Rome a city rich in treasures of faith and memories of the Christian East.

Finally, the third part aims to make known the places of worship where the Liturgies of the Eastern Churches are celebrated in Urbe, as well as the Institutes of formation for seminarians, priests, religious men and women who belong to the Eastern Catholic Churches.
