extraordinary jubilee to encourage us to become more effective

witnesses to God’s merciful love. The Year of Mercy The Year of Mercy The Year of Mercy The Year of Mercy has begun

Dec. 8, 2015 and will continue until Nov. 20, 2016. Pope Francis has

encouraged the Church to make its mission to be a witness of mercy to all people, saying “No one can be excluded from

God’s mercy.” The biblical theme for the year comes from Luke 6:36: “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful” This extraordinary jubilee pro-vides parishes a special opportunity to engage and evangelize their parishioners and the communities

in which they live.
