Bishop Broderick S. Pabillo solemnly led the Opening Celebration of the Jubilee Year in the Ecclesiastical District of Sta. Monica.
The Catholic faithful of the Ecclesiastical District of Sta. Monica gathered at Sta. Monica Parish for the opening program, joining in prayer and devotion for the Opening Solemn Procession, which was followed by the Eucharistic Celebration at St. Joseph The Worker Cathedral, presided over by Bishop Broderick S. Pabillo.
Jubilee 2025 was proclaimed by Pope Francis in the Papal Bull Spes Non Confundit (“Hope does not disappoint”).
“The coming Jubilee will thus be a Holy Year marked by the hope that does not fade, our hope in God. May it help us to recover the confident trust that we require, in the Church and in society, in our interpersonal relationships, in international relations, and in our task of promoting the dignity of all persons and respect for God’s gift of creation.” (Pope Francis, Spes Non Confundit 25)
