Upcoming Diocesan Jubilee Events
The Catholic Church celebrates a Jubilee as a special year of grace, prayer, and renewal—an opportunity to encounter Christ more deeply. Held every 25 years, the Jubilee Year includes various Jubilee Days to honor different vocations and ministries.
Throughout 2025, the Diocese of St. Augustine will host special events to celebrate these vocations and ministries. We invite you to visit our webpage for a list of upcoming Jubilee events and participate in those that reflect your vocation or ministry!
Jubilee of the World of Communications (Rescheduled) – March 27 & 28
Recognizing the vital role of those who share the faith and proclaim the truth, The Jubilee of Communications is for parish and ministry communicators who are essential in building community, fostering connection and spreading the Gospel. This free gathering will provide participants an opportunity to explore new ways to engage audiences, share the Gospel effectively and reach Catholics who may feel disconnected from parish life. This event will be held in Jacksonville (March 27) and Gainesville (March 28). This is more than a workshop; it is a chance to connect with fellow communicators, gain fresh insights and strengthen the mission of evangelization. Click here for registration. RSVP by March 21 by contacting Kimberly Whiting at kwhiting@dosafl.com or (904) 262-3200, ext. 115.
