A group of parishioners from The Holy Family parish in Hartlepool have kindly shared their messages of Hope for the Year of Jubilee.

During a visit to St Joseph’s church in Hartlepool, in preparation for the Jubilee Opening Ceremony on 29 December, it was wonderful to meet and share with a group of parishioners who had been celebrating Mass with Canon Paul and spending time together at their Tuesday Lunch Club.

Sharing stories and testimonials can help inspire and unite communities. Picture a story of a community coming together to create a beautiful community garden. Or a testimonial from someone who, through the power of mercy and compassion, discovered joy in spreading kindness to others. These narratives of hope, mercy and compassion embody the spirit of the Jubilee, reminding us that hope can flourish in every corner of our lives.

Have you got a Message of Hope or Prayer, that could inspire hope in others? Please get in touch by completing this online form: https://bit.ly/DHN-YOJ-Messages or by emailing jubilee2025@diocesehn.org.uk.

Wishing you a joyful Jubilee Year!
