Laudato Youth: Pilgrims of Green Hope #jubileeyear2025 Jubilee Year 2025 – Pilgrims of Hope. Have you thought about delving into understanding more about the Jubilee Year? Well A Jubilee Year is traditionally proclaimed by the Universal Church every 25 years. It is a particular year set aside to encourage the faithful to embark on pilgrimages, to repent of their sins and forgive the sins of others, and to renew a focus on the spiritual life. In the Hebrew tradition, as recorded in Leviticus, a Jubilee was celebrated every 50 years with the freeing of slaves and the forgiveness of debts. In 1300, Pope Boniface VIII instituted the first Christian Jubilee, and since then the Church has designated each new Jubilee as a special year of grace and forgiveness, offering the faithful an opportunity to obtain a plenary indulgence. The 2025 Jubilee will be centered on the theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” As His Holiness Pope Francis so beautifully expressed it: “We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far. Laudato Youth are all out for the Jubilee year with a theme; Pilgrims of Green Hope. Stay tuned for more.. Kisembo Immaculate Sarah Kirikumwino

Stewards of the future ready to lead the way! Our Laudato Youth just wrapped up an inspiring conference at St. Andrea Kaahwa SSS, and wow, did they learn a ton about sustainable agriculture! Well organic farming has been one of their pillars and they have done so to go along way towards reducing soil erosion by up to 50%? Talk about it as a win for Mother Earth! After exploring the farm, our youth are pumped to bring those lessons home. They’re all about enhancing organic farming in their homes and parishes. *The journey as pilgrims of Green Hope starts NOW!* Join us in making small changes for a big impact! What sustainable practice will you try or are u trying in your home or community?

In the recently Published Eastern Breeze Magazine by Holy Cross Lake View S.S.S Wanyange Our Laudato Youth and Mentors featured amazing articles amplifying voices for the care of Creation. With learning institutions like Holy Cross we have stepped forward to raise youth voices and enhance care for creation, ecological research and sustainable innovations through STEM education programs and enhancing the New Curriculum through our hands on student based school sustainability projects. Institutions of learning must take advantage of the new curriculum to foster hands on ecological education as a value. Augustine Bahemuka Sarah Kirikumwino
