Pope Francis Explains: The Year of Mercy
"On the Occasion of the Proclamation of the Holy Year of Mercy - December 8, 2015 to November 26, 2016"
On April 12, 2015 during the Solemn Vespers at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, Pope Francis formally announced the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy. This announcement takes place when the Holy Father reads a document called a BULL. Link to Papal Bull Misericordiae Vultus.
This is an extraordinary Holy Year since Holy Years are normally every 25 years, the last being 2000. The Jubilee Year begins with the opening of the first Holy Door in Rome at St. Peter's Basilica on December 8, 2015. Regarding the Holy Door during the Jubilee Year of Mercy Pope Francis said, “On that day, the Holy Door will become a Door of Mercy through which anyone who enters will experience the love of God who consoles, pardons, and instills hope”. The official theme for this year is “Merciful Like The Father” based on Lk 6:36 “Be merciful, as your Father is merciful” Read More »»
Bishop Bryan Bayda, CSsR, has designated the St. George's Cathedral Holy Door in Saskatoon for the faithful of the Eparchy to enter. Other Holy Doors are designated in the following places:St. Basil’s Church-Regina, St. Joseph’s Home-Saskatoon, Shrine to Blessed Nun Martyrs Olmpia & Laurentia-Saskatoon, St. Mary’s Church-Yorkton and St. Peter & Paul Church-Canora.
Bishop Bryan wants to highlight how Patriarch Sviatoslav quotes the Holy Father in his pastoral letter to us. "Our mercy should primarily be directed to our family members and neighbours, s o that in the words of, Pope Francis, the door of every home becomes “the door of mercy”. Indeed, you can personally decorate or designate the front doors of your personal homes as a ‘holy door’, so that you are reminded to extend the mercy of God to all who enter.
