Open Wide the Holy Doors and Announce the Jubilee!
Today, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady, Pope Francis unsealed the Holy Doors at Saint Peter’s Basilica, officially beginning the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy.
On this coming Third Sunday of Advent, all across the world, cathedrals, basilicas, and shrines in every diocese will bless and open their own Holy Doors.
Archbishop Sartain has designated a church in each of the western Washington deaneries as a pilgrimage site, meaning that each of these churches will have their own Holy Doors.
For the Pierce Deanery, our parish of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary has been chosen.
