“These sacred sites will offer the faithful an opportunity for deeper reflection, conversion, and the experience of God’s infinite mercy,” CBCP president and Cardinal-elect Pablo Virgilio David said.

The jubilee year will begin with the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica on Dec. 24, welcoming an anticipated 30 million pilgrims into Rome by the time the Holy Year ends on Jan. 6, 2026.
