Jubilee 2025

2025 Jubilee: The Holy Year

With Optional 2-Night Venice and St. Anthony of Padua Post Tour Extension

The Office of Radio & Television and WJMJ Radio invite you to join Father John Gatzak on a special pilgrimage tour to Italy in celebration of Jubilee 2025: The Holy Year of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Jubilee is a special year of grace, in which the Catholic Church offers the faithful the possibility of asking for a plenary indulgence, that is, the remission of sins for themselves or for deceased relatives. A Jubilee usually lasts a year and a few days: it begins just before the Christian Christmas and ends on the Epiphany of the following year.

We still have a few seats remaining for this Jubilee year pilgrimage. So, don't miss this opportunity to be among the first to see Pope Leo XIV, the Church's first American born pope!

Florence, Assisi & Rome, October 26 to November 6, 2025 (12 Days)

Do you want to learn more about this exciting 2025 Jubilee pilgrimage hosted by Father John Gatzak, featuring Florence, Assisi and Rome?  Please watch our Zoom travel presentation conducted by Collette Tours, originally recorded on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, just click the button below.

The volume of TV Mass prayer intention requests continues to remain high and the television Mass prayer and intention schedule fills up quickly; especially Sundays and Holidays .  So please remember that it may be three months or more before you see your prayer request on the TV Mass, unless you have requested a specific (special) date AND it is available!  Under normal circumstances, special date requests must be submitted at least TWO months in advance.  Please note, for your security and to prevent fraud, we deposit donations on the same day that they are received.  Please continue to use our mail-in or online resources to request your prayer intentions, and remember to indicate whether the person you are requesting a prayer for is LIVING or DECEASED in all correspondence.  You can find complete information on our Prayers and Donations page. 

We thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Please note that the schedule for Christmas Day Deceased Intentions is fully booked through 2025!
