My Jubilee Year Pilgrimage Passport 2025
Friday, April 11
Hey besties! Have you got your own Jubilee Pilgrimage passport already? Well, if you haven't and you dont know what a Pilgrimage passport is then read on. 😀👍
Experience grace, history, and renewal—one church at a time.
The Jubilee Year 2025 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Catholics around the world to reconnect with their faith, walk in prayer, and celebrate the mercy of God. One special way pilgrims are doing this is through the Jubilee Pilgrimage Passport—a spiritual keepsake that helps guide and document your visits to designated churches throughout the Holy Year.
What Is the Jubilee Pilgrimage Passport?
The Jubilee Passport is similar to a travel passport but for your spiritual journey. It allows pilgrims to collect stamps from each designated Jubilee Church, serving as both a devotional tool and a personal record of faith.
With each stamp, you mark not just a physical destination—but a sacred encounter with God.

The Jubilee Tradition
The tradition of Jubilee Years dates back to 1300 A.D., when Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed the first Holy Year to encourage pilgrimages to Rome. Since then, the Church has held Jubilee Years every 25 years, with some extraordinary Jubilees in between (like the Year of Mercy in 2015).
A key component of a Jubilee is pilgrimage—journeying to holy sites, especially those designated as "Jubilee Churches," to receive special indulgences, engage in prayer, and renew one's relationship with the Lord.
The Pilgrimage Passport is a modern way of honoring this centuries-old practice. It encourages the faithful to rediscover the richness of our Catholic heritage—locally and globally.
