500 PH churches are pilgrimage sites for Jubilee Year
Over 500 churches nationwide have been designated as destinations for pilgrims who cannot go to Rome as the Catholic Church marks the Jubilee Year in 2025.
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) said the designated churches would serve as places of pilgrimage for the special “time of spiritual renewal and grace for the universal Church.”
“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 list of churches can be seen at cbcpnews.net/cbcpnews/list-jubilee-2025-pilgrim-churches-in-the-philippines/.
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.
