Pope Francis has declared a Holy Year titled Jubilee: Pilgrims of Hope.

Many Catholics will take part by traveling to Rome or to the Holy Land. But the Pope called on every Catholic to be a part of a Church “on the move” through personal reflection and selfless action.

RENEW invites parishes to form small groups to participate with this faith-sharing resource created especially for the Holy Year! Six sessions are inspired by the themes Pope Francis has sounded in declaring the Holy Year, including generosity, compassion, forgiveness and reconciliation. These sessions, like Pope Francis, call us to move closer to those who feel abandoned or rejected, and, with our attention and support, to give them hope.

The sessions include topics such as:

• Materialism versus gospel values
• Care for those in poverty, the sick, and the elderly
• Concern for young people
• Compassion and encouragement for prisoners;         rejection of the death penalty
• Welcome for strangers
• Forgiveness and reconciliation
