The Catholic community in Trinidad and Tobago is currently immersed in the Jubilee of Hope, a three-day festival running from October 10 to 12 at the Centre of Excellence in Macoya. The event, themed ‘Hope in Christ,’ underscores the Jubilee Year’s message of renewal, reconciliation, and the church’s mission to spread hope. The festivities began with a Eucharistic procession from St Charles RC Church in Tunapuna to the Centre of Excellence, symbolizing unity and faith. Archbishop Jason Gordon, addressing the attendees, emphasized the importance of charity, urging participants to bring non-perishable items for distribution to the less fortunate. ‘This act of giving is a beautiful reflection of who we are as Catholics,’ Gordon remarked. The event also saw the presence of notable figures, including government ministers Barry Padarath, Kennedy Swaratsingh, and Vandana Mohit, as well as Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles, who joined the celebrations on October 11. The Eucharistic presence remains at the Centre of Excellence throughout the festival, serving as a focal point for worship and community gathering. The Jubilee of Hope not only celebrates faith but also reinforces the church’s commitment to social responsibility and communal support.
