Jubilee 2025
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As we begin the New Year, I am filled with joy and anticipation for this Jubilee Year 2025.
Jubilee Years, which occur every 25 years, offer us a unique opportunity to deepen our faith, renew our commitment to Christ, and experience the boundless love and mercy of God. This Jubilee, themed “Pilgrims of Hope,” is a time for us to re-establish a proper relationship with God, with one another, and with all of Creation.
As we embark on this Jubilee Year, let us embrace the spirit of renewal and reconciliation. May this be a time of spiritual growth, forgiveness, and hope for all.
Discover more about the special Jubilee Year and how our Diocese is celebrating at www.covdio.org/jubilee.
Please continue to pray for the Church in Covington and for me.
Yours in the Joy of the Jubilee Year,
Most Rev. John Iffert
Bishop of Covington
