Jubilee 2025

2025 is the Jubilee Holy Year, the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of our Lord, an "event of great spiritual, ecclesial, and social significance in the life of the church."  The concept of "Jubilee" has its origins in the Book of Leviticus as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and a coming home. Pope Francis has designated the Church in which she celebrates the year of messianic favor inaugurated by Christ through his Incarnation and Paschal Mystery. Proclaimed every 25 years since the 13th century, the celebration of jubilee years typically includes pilgrim, processions, celebrations of Mass, and an invitation to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. These celebrations are opportunities to receive the Lord's mercy. The theme for this Jubilee is Pilgrims of Hope.


The Holy Door- The Lord Jesus is the door of our salvation, a fact which is symbolized through the spiritual practice of passing through specially designated doors of various churches. The Ordinary Jubilee began with the opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica on December 24, 2024. This door is also called the "Door of the Great Pardon". Its panels portray scenes of man's sin and his redemption through God's mercy.

Mission Statement

We, the members of Holy Ghost Parish, are one body of Roman Catholic people with diverse gifts and blessings, who share responsibility for the transformation of ourselves and our world according to the teachings and example of Jesus Christ. Fed by the Holy Spirit, we nurture our faith through private prayer, sacraments and liturgy, through lifelong learning and teaching of gospel values, and through love and support of each other. Empowered by the same Spirit, we live our faith in action through ministries of service, social justice, evangelization and witness, because all people are called to one and the same goal:
 unity with God, now and forever. Amen.
