What is a Jubilee?
A Jubilee is a special year of grace and conversion, involving prayer, pilgrimage and sacramental repentance, held every 25 years, or during other years as called for by the Pope. Through a series of concrete rituals, acts and commitments, the goal of a Jubilee year is to inspire and encourage holiness of life among the faithful and therefore to strengthen the Church’s witness to God’s loving mercy in and for the world.
The logo symbolises unity and fraternity among all of humanity, with four stylised figures from different corners of the earth embracing each other. The leading figure holds a cross, representing faith and hope. The rough waves beneath the figures symbolize life’s challenges, emphasizing the need for hope in difficult times. The elongated lower part of the cross forms an anchor, a well-known symbol of hope. This image depicts the pilgrimage as a communal journey towards the cross, which reaches out dynamically to offer presence and hope. The motto for the 2025 Jubilee Year, “Pilgrims of hope”, is displayed in green letters at the bottom of the logo.
The historic Chalice of St Patrick’s, Tarraville is travelling across the Diocese for the Jubilee Year
As part of the Jubilee Year celebrations, the chalice & paten of St Patrick’s, Tarraville is travelling to Catholic churches across the Diocese of Sale. This gold-plated 1879 French chalice & paten, first used in the earliest church of the Gippsland Mission, began its journey at St Mary’s Cathedral, Sale, on 1 January during the opening of the Jubilee Year Mass.
The chalice holds great significance as it was likely first used by Fr Philip Kavanagh, the first parish priest of Tarraville. His dedication to his parishioners ultimately cost him his life in 1883, when he travelled in harsh weather to administer the sacraments to a dying parishioner.
Be on the lookout as this historic chalice and paten continue journeying around the diocese.

Care for Creation
“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience.” Pope Francis, Laudato-si
“The Season of Creation” is celebrated from the 1st of September (the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation) and ends on the 4th of October ( the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi).
