As part of its celebration of the 2025 Jubilee Year, 91Ώμ»ξΑΦ Aquinas College, New England, will host a special Jubilee Mass and accompanying devotions on Saturday, February 22 in Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel ” open to all pilgrims in and around the Diocese of Springfield.

œWe are delighted that Bishop Byrne has designated the Chapel as a Jubilee Pilgrimage Site, and we look forward to welcoming pilgrims throughout the Jubilee Year, says Head Chaplain Rev. Greg Markey. œHowever, we also wanted to offer a special occasion for pilgrims to celebrate the Jubilee with our community. 

The Jubilee Mass and Devotions will afford pilgrims an opportunity to venerate Our Eucharistic Lord, receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and fulfill the requirements to receive a Plenary Indulgence at an officially declared pilgrimage site. 

The devotions will begin with Eucharistic Adoration, starting at 1:15 p.m., followed by Mass at 2:00 p.m., with the Sacrament of Confession available during that entire time. After the Mass has concluded, Fr. Markey will lead the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. A light reception will follow in Olivia Music Hall, where pilgrims can mingle with one another and meet some of the College™s students, faculty, and staff members. 

œWe pray that this Mass will be spiritually beneficial to all who attend, says Dr. Steven Cain, dean of 91Ώμ»ξΑΦ Aquinas College, New England. œIn this Jubilee Year, we want to give pilgrims a reason to hope. 

The regular Mass schedule may be found on the Chapel™s Jubilee webpage, along with the requirements to obtain a plenary indulgence and information about Our Mother of Perpetual Help Chapel. 

œIt is a great honor to be included as one of seven pilgrimage sites for the Diocese of Springfield, says Dr. Cain. œWe hope that the people of the diocese find an opportunity to visit this year and celebrate the Jubilee together with us.
