IUBILAEUM 2025
PILGRIMS OF HOPE
The National Shrine and Parish of
Saint Anne as a Pilgrim Church for the Jubilee Year 2025 - Pilgrims of Hope
Last December 29, 2024, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Malolos, under the pastorship of its bishop, Most Reverend Dennis C. Villarojo, inaugurated the Jubilee Year 2025 in the Diocese. That afternoon, the six pilgrim churches consecutively inaugurated their local Jubilee. During the celebration at the cathedral for the inauguration, His Excellency bestowed upon the six Jubilee churches the Jubilee Cross and the certificate bearing the signature of the local ordinary, declaring the national shrine as a place for pilgrimage.
The National Shrine's inclusion as a Jubilee Church for the Jubilee Year 2025 is a great honor and blessing. It means that the shrine is now a special place where people can pray, seek forgiveness, and grow in their faith. As a pilgrimage site, it gives the faithful an opportunity to receive plenary indulgences and experience God's mercy in a deeper way. This recognition also highlights the shrine’s importance in the Diocese of Malolos, reminding everyone of its role in spreading devotion and strengthening the community. Through this, the shrine continues to guide people closer to Christ and help them live their faith with greater love and commitment.
In this Jubilee Year of Hope, we extend our heartfelt prayers and best wishes to all who will embark on a pilgrimage to the National Shrine. May each pilgrim encounter Jesus, our true hope, in a deep and personal way. Through the intercession of our beloved patrons, Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, and under the loving care of our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, may every visitor experience divine grace, mercy, and a strengthened faith.

Signs of Jubilee
Ang mga Palatandaan ng Jubileo ay nakikitang pagpapahayag ng biyaya at awa ng Diyos sa isang banal na panahon ng pagdiriwang. Kabilang dito ang pagbubukas ng Banal na Pinto, na sumasagisag kay Kristo bilang daan tungo sa kaligtasan, ang paglalakbay ng pananampalataya, at ang paggagawad ng lubos na indulhensiya para sa kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan. Hinihikayat din nito ang mananampalataya na isabuhay ang awa, pagpapatawad, at katarungan bilang pagsasalamin ng walang hanggang pag-ibig at habag ng Diyos para sa lahat.
PEREGRINASYON
Ang Jubileo ay nanghihikayat sa atin na maglakbay at lampasan ang mga hangganan, sapagkat sa bawat peregrinasyon ay nababago rin tayo nito patungo sa kabanalan ng Diyos.
PORTA SANCTA
Ang Banal na Pinto ay sumasagisag sa landas ng kaligtasan, na nagpapaalala sa mga pilgrims na ang pagtawid dito ay tanda ng pagsunod kay Kristo, ang Mabuting Pastol.

PROFESSION OF FAITH
Ang taon na ito ay pagkilala sa Diyos at pag-unawa sa ating pananampalataya na nagpapalalim sa ating pakikipagugnayan sa Kaniya.
INDULHENSYA
Sa panahong ito ng pag-asa, tayo ay nakikipagkasundo sa Diyos at umaasa sa Kaniyang awa. Ngayon ay panahon ng pagbabalikloob sa pamamagitan ng pagpapahalaga natin sa sakramento ng kumpisal.
PAG-IBIG SA KAPWA
Ang pag-ibig ay isang tanda ng pagiging Kristiyano, tulad ni Hesus ang Diyos ng Pag-ibig, tayo ay pinalalakas nito at binibigyan ng pagkakakilanlan bilang tagasunod ni Kristo.
LITURHIYA
Ito ay nagtuturo sa atin na magpuri sa Diyos, magbalik-loob, at patatagin ang ating pananampalataya, kung saan ang ating pakikibahagi sa Misa at mga panalangin ay nagiging daan tungo sa langit na tahanan.

YEAR OF MERCY
EXTRAORDINARY JUBILEE
The last Jubilee Year took place in 2015. It was a special year dedicated to deepening our understanding of God’s infinite mercy and encouraging the faithful to become instruments of His mercy in the world.
The National Shrine of Saint Anne held a special role in this Jubilee as it was one of the designated pilgrim churches at the time. Its Holy Door was opened and became a Porta Sancta, a sacred gateway to God’s mercy. A plaque was installed outside the shrine’s door, serving as a lasting marker of the Year of Mercy. That door became a Door of Mercy, symbolizing the path to our merciful Lord and an invitation to experience His boundless compassion.ing of God’s infinite mercy and encouraging the faithful to become instruments of His mercy in the world.
