Year of Jubilee

Every 25 years, the Church marks the celebration of a Jubilee Year—a time of great significance when we are called to refocus, reflect, and open ourselves to receiving special graces. This year, the Jubilee is titled "Pilgrims of Hope," and it began on December 24, 2024. It will continue through to December 14, 2025. This Jubilee Year offers us an opportunity to deepen our faith and renew our commitment to living out the Gospel in the world, particularly through acts of service and compassion.

As part of this sacred time, we are offering these resources to help us connect more deeply with the wider SVP family. They are intended to guide us in sharing our Vincentian Charism—the spirit of service, humility, and care for those in need—within the parishes where we serve. This is a moment to strengthen our bonds as a community and to inspire others to walk with us on this journey of hope and renewal.

We encourage you to explore these resources as a way to enrich your own spiritual practice and outreach during this special year. Additionally, if you would like to see the resources shared with schools, click here to access them.

Lenten Campaign 2025 - A Time for Hope

This Lent, we’re inviting all SVP members to go deeper in prayer and take action as Pilgrims of Hope. Our Lenten pack includes a toolbox of ways to get involved and share our Vincentian way of life with the wider community through prayer and calls to action through the SVP Lenten Campaign Materials. We’d love to hear your campaign stories! Send any stories of the action you take to [email protected].
