Pope Leo will close the Holy Door in St Peter’s Basilica on 6 January 2026 and bring the Jubilee Year to a close. Across the world, dioceses will conclude their Holy Year on the Feast of the Holy Family. Bishop Ralph invites you, the Pilgrim People of God, both lay and ordained, to a Mass of Thanksgiving for the blessings of this Holy Year at St Marie’s Cathedral on 27 December at 3:30 PM, the vigil of the Feast of the Holy Family.
