Jubilee Year Ends with a Special Mass at the Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist

As Pilgrims of Hope, we journeyed together this special year. Pope Francis awakened the church to be beacons of hope during this special holy time of 2025. On Sunday, December 28, the Feast of the Holy Family, Bishop Edward Malesic invited the church of Cleveland and those at the 12 sacred shrines and holy doors of the Diocese of Cleveland to return with the jubilee cross for a closing of the Jubilee Year and special Mass. This photo captures our group.
