The Diocese of Indore, Madhya Pradesh, commenced its preparations towards Jubilee A.D. 2025 with a seminar held on February 17, 2024. Led by Most Rev. Chacko Thottumarickal SVD, Bishop of Indore, the event emphasised the importance of spiritual preparations in anticipation of the forthcoming Jubilee year.
In his inaugural address, Most Rev. Chacko Thottumarickal SVD underscored the significance of Jubilee 2025 as a profound spiritual exercise for the Universal Church. He emphasised that genuine preparation for Jubilee requires a deep commitment to spiritual renewal, prayer, and reflection, urging all attendees to embark on a journey of inner transformation.
The Jubilee Yatra served as a catalyst for spiritual introspection and renewal, providing clergy, religious, and lay faithful with an opportunity to engage in prayer, contemplation, and dialogue.
Looking ahead, the Diocese of Indore remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering a vibrant and spiritually enriched faith community. As the journey towards Jubilee A.D. 2025 unfolds, the faithful are invited to embrace the call to spiritual renewal and to journey together in faith, hope, and love.
Later in the evening, Most Rev. Chacko Thottumarickal SVD unfurled the Jubilee 2025 flag and declared the Jubilee 2025 preparations open, in the presence of Msgr. Thomas Mathew Kuttimackal, the Bishop-Elect of Indore, announced prior to the Holy Eucharistic Celebration.
The National Facilitating Team, in collaboration with the Diocesan Contact Persons, animated the seminar.
