Special to The Message
Several opportunities are being planned to celebrate Jubilee 2025 across the Diocese of Evansville. As more events are scheduled, they will be added to the list, which can be found at https://evdiomessage.org/local-news/.
Masses at Pilgrimage Churches
Along with their own local celebrations they are planning, Bishop Joseph M. Siegel will celebrate Mass at the Pilgrimage churches over the course of the Jubilee year:
- 10 a.m. EDT on Sunday, May 4 — Our Lady of Hope Church in Washington (Bilingual)
- 4:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 31 — St. Mary Church in Huntingburg
- 5:30 PM EDT on Sunday, Aug. 10 — St. Francis Xavier Basilica in Vincennes
- Mass at St. Philip Church in Posey County will be celebrated later this year.
“The Light is ON for You” is April 2
During this Jubilee year, Pope Francis has called for an increased appreciation for and celebration of the Sacrament of Penance. Several years ago, the diocese celebrated “The Light is ON for You,” a diocesan-wide reconciliation event. In support of this call from the Holy Father, we will bring back “The Light is ON for You” for the Jubilee, asking all parishes to offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation in as many of our churches as possible from 6-8 p.m. (local time) on Wednesday, April 2.
