Pilgrims on the Way of Beauty: A Resource for the Jubilee of Artists

Jubilee 2025: Pilgrims of Hope
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Jubilee for Artists: Resource Packet

February 16-18, 2025

INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW

Jubilee 2025 invites you to be a pilgrim of hope. For Christians, hope is anchored in the encounter with Jesus whose life, death, and resurrection reveals God’s transforming love. Our hope in God is renewed constantly in the gift of the Holy Spirit, the love of the Father and the Son, who is given, even now, to the community of believers. 

The Holy See has designated various Jubilee Days throughout 2025 to welcome and celebrate different groups of people and various ministries in the Church. One of these Jubilee Days invites artists, and those who support and nurture artists, to a renewed hope in God. By making a Jubilee pilgrimage of hope, you give thanks to God for your vocation as an artist and join in celebrating the many creative gifts that artists have given to the Church and to the world. This is a graced opportunity to join with artists of every race, language, and culture to discover or rediscover your vocation to beauty that renews the world with the gift of hope. 

The Jubilee of Artists will be held from Sunday, February 16, to Tuesday, February 18, 2025. Individual artists and groups of artists are invited to journey on the “way of beauty,” the via pulchritudinis, to encounter Jesus Christ, “the image (icon) of the invisible God” (Col 1:15). Jesus is the sure foundation of Christian hope, the one who reveals God’s love to all people.

This resource is offered to artists as well as those who support and inspire artists. It is also offered to anyone who finds in the arts a place where personal inspiration, joy, and hope abound. Anyone who is led to encounter God through beauty, expressed in the arts and crafts across cultures, is welcome to explore this resource in preparation for the Jubilee of Artists.
