The 2025 Jubilee Year began with the opening of the Holy Doors by Pope Francis at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome on December 24. In the Diocese of Tyler, the opening Mass will be celebrated on Sunday, December 29 at 10:00 a.m. at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Tyler. All are invited to this Eucharistic Celebration.
The Jubilee Year is a “favorable time” (cf. 2 Corinthians 6:2) for conversion. We are called to put God at the center of our lives, growing toward him and acknowledging his presence. The Jubilee will offer the faithful opportunities to participate in various jubilee events in Rome and right here in the diocese, including pilgrimages, indulgences, times for reconciliation, and special prayers.
