Pope Francis has declared through his papal bull "Spes Non Confundit" ("Hope does not disappoint" {Romans 5:5] that a Holy Year be engaged by the faithful as is the custom in the Church every 25 years. A jubilee has ancient roots in the Hebrew tradition and was revived in the Church in the 13th century as a special time for reconciliation and conversion. The Diocese of Charlotte is excited to offer ways in which the faithful in western North Carolina can participate in this special moment.
