Jubilee 2025 - Pilgrims of Hope: Tue, Dec 24, 2024 – Sun, Dec 14, 2025 The Jubilee Year will offer the faithful opportunities to participate in various jubilee events at the Vatican and in their own dioceses. The great tradition of opening the Holy Door will begin when Pope Francis opens the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica on December 24, 2024. Other holy doors will be opened at the Rome basilicas of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls. For pilgrims who cannot travel to Rome, Archbishop Gomez has designated special places of prayer for our San Pedro Pastoral Region, offering opportunities for reconciliation, indulgences and other events intended to strengthen and revive faith. These sites include: Deanery 17 – St. Emydius Church (Lynwood) Deanery 18 – St. Mary of the Assumption Church (Whittier) Deanery 19 – St. Joseph Church (Hawthorne) and St. Catherine of Alexandria Church (Avalon); Masses of Thanksgiving were celebrated on Santa Catalina Island when Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo landed on October 7, 1542 and Sebastián Vizcaíno on November 25, 1602 Deanery 20 – St. Anthony Church (Long Beach) Other sites throughout the archdiocese have, also, been designated.
