Tuesday, 6 May 2025 local churches   jubilee  

Beijing (Agenzia Fides) - “Born from Hope, Looking towards Hope”: was the motto of the meeting promoted by the Archdiocese of Taiyuan, in the Chinese province of Shanxi, as part of its Jubilee journey in communion with the universal Church, on the occasion of the Jubilee of Hope.
The meeting took place on Monday, May 5, in the Parish of the Immaculate Conception in Yangjiapu, one of the churches designated by the diocese as Jubilee Churches. During the meeting, Bishop Paul Meng Ningyou exhorted the faithful to “participate with care and generosity in the life of the Church, supporting one another in Christ to build a culture of encounter and share works of charity and concrete testimonies,” at the service of the ecclesial community and Chinese society as a whole.

The Jubilee journey of the Catholic community of Taiyuan began on December 28 with the opening of the Holy Door in the diocesan cathedral. During this solemn celebration, the faithful listened to the silent reading of Spes non confundit, the text Pope Francis used to proclaim the Jubilee of Hope. They then passed through the Holy Door in procession, singing the Prayer of the Saints. On this occasion, Bishop Meng emphasized that the Jubilee is an opportune moment to recognize that "our greatest hope is in God" and to "bring this light to every corner of the world."
In addition to the aforementioned Immaculate Conception Parish in Yangjiapu, other churches designated as jubilee churches in the archdiocese are: the Bansishan Parish (near the shrine of the same name), the Parish of Our Lady of Sorrows, the Cathedral (dedicated to the Immaculate Conception), the Parish of St. Anthony in Xiliulin, the Parish of Christ the King in Guchengying, and the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Honggou and the parish of the Immaculate Conception in YangJiapu.
