Dec. 8, 2015 and will continue until Nov. 20, 2016. Pope Francis has
encouraged the Church to make its mission to be a witness of mercy to all people, saying “No one can be excluded from God’s mercy.” The biblical theme for the year comes from Luke 6:36: “Be merciful,
even as your Father is merciful” This extraordinary jubilee provides parishes a special opportunity to
engage and evangelize their parishioners and the communities in which they live.

program. The arrival of new members into our community is a testament to the unceasing action of the God drawing each and every person to Himself. We believe that God loves every person and that He wants all to know and live in the fullness of His love
in Jesus Christ.
