Hope Does Not Disappoint: Join the Jubilee Year Mass at the Cathedral

The Jubilee Year is a sacred time of renewal, grace, and joy proclaimed by the Church every 25 years. For 2025, Pope Francis has announced the Jubilee Year under the theme “Spes Non Confundit” (Hope Does Not Disappoint), taken from St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans (Rom 5:5).

Christmas Pastoral from Archbishop Christopher J. Coyne

Christmas 2024 My friends, I am pleased to share with you this Christmas pastoral letter as the Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Norwich. Many of you are regular Mass goers. Some of you come occasionally, once a month or so. Some come once or twice a year on the major holidays of Christmas or Easter.

To all of you, I say, “Welcome and merry Christmas.” Whatever your relationship with the Church may be, I invite you to c...
