History This is not the first time the Catholic Church has kept such an anniversary jubilee year, and the pattern is worth knowing.
1933 Extraordinary Jubilee of the Redemption — Pope Pius XI proclaimed an extraordinary Jubilee with the bull Quod Nuper, marking the 1,900th. Anniversary of the Redemption. More than two million pilgrims came to Rome.
1983 Extraordinary Jubilee of the Redemption — Pope John Paul II proclaimed the Jubilee Year of Redemption with the bull Aperite Portas Redemptori, marking the 1,950th. Anniversary of the Redemption.
Both were announced on the Feast of the Epiphany. 2033 completes that series, and does so at the two-thousandth year.
Preparation On November 29, 2025, while in Istanbul for the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, Pope Leo XIV called Christians to journey together toward this anniversary. He expressed the hope that it be marked in Jerusalem, in the Upper Room, and he addressed the invitation not only to Catholics but to all Christians — making the road to 2033 a path of unity as well as of penance and thanksgiving.
On the Epiphany, January 6, 2026, the Holy Father signaled again that the next Holy Door to open will be for this Extraordinary Jubilee in 2033.
Global 2033 Global 2033 is primarily a consortium of organizations and movements, dioceses and entities in the Catholic Church with one objective: to bring the Gospel to all mankind. To fulfil the Great Commission. 2000 years after Jesus said to us to go and make disciples, in our nations.
Journey to Redemption 2033 The delegation Journey to Redemption 2033 (J2R2033) is responsible for promoting the global project “Rome 25 – Santiago 27 – Jerusalem 33,” an initiative that originated within the Spanish Episcopal Conference and is supported by numerous dioceses, ecclesial movements and European Episcopal Conferences. The program forms part of a progressive journey of preparation that will accompany the Church toward the Extraordinary Jubilee of 2033.
