Celebrate the Jubilee of Teenagers - April 25-27, 2025
The Holy See has designated a number of Jubilee Days throughout 2025 to recognize and celebrate different groups of people and various ministries in the Church. The Jubilee of Teenagers will be celebrated on April 25-27, 2025. Here are some suggestions for celebrating teenagers in your parish:
- Use the weekend liturgies on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 26-27, 2025, to recognize all the teenagers in the community: in the homily, general intercessions, with a special blessing, or by inviting teenagers to serve in key liturgical roles. An example of a petition for the Prayer of the Faithful might include: For the teenagers in our parish community, that they be enlivened by the witness of the life of Saint Carlo Acutis to boldly proclaim the truth of the faith to a world in desperate need of a savior. Let us pray to the Lord. [4/21/25: The Canonization of Carlo Acutis has been postponed, but the Jubilee of Teenagers will still take place this weekend. If you decide to use this prayer, please change "Saint" to "Blessed".]
- Host a Jubilee Eucharistic Holy Hour at your parish during Divine Mercy Sunday, inviting the teenagers to lead and witness their faith to the larger community.
- Plan a local pilgrimage for teenagers to the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace. Contact the parish (808-536-7036) to let them know you plan to bring a group. After returning home, take time for prayer and theological reflection on the graces of God received during the pilgrimage experience.
- Post stories about teenagers and ministry leaders accompanying teenagers on your parish social media and/or website prior to and/or during the Jubilee of Teenagers April 25-27, 2025. Be sure to have appropriate Photo/Video Consent Forms completed.
- Gather together to participate in the Mass and Canonization of Carlo Acutis LIVE from Rome. (4/21/25: Canonization postponed)
- Go and watch the movie: Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality. Playing in theatres beginning April 27. It is playing in theatres locally, check your local theater for times. Trailer. Tickets.
- Complete the Carlo Acutis Religious Activity (from NCCS).
