Some 16,000 pilgrims are expected in Rome for the Jubilee of Consecrated Life, which begins on October 8.
Although the Vatican’s jubilee website publicized the Jubilee of Consecrated Life as a two-day event, the Vatican newspaper reported that the jubilee is a four-day event that concludes on October 11. Pope Leo XIV will celebrate a rare Thursday morning Mass in St. Peter’s Square on October 9 for participants.
