OCEANIA/SOLOMON ISLANDS - Jubilee for Children in Tetere: “On their way to Jesus”

Tetere (Agenzia Fides) – Salesian missionaries working in the Solomon Islands have chosen to explain to children what the Jubilee is, the rites associated with the Holy Year, and how to make a pilgrimage to obtain the plenary indulgence. Thanks to their initiative, more than 200 children from the Christ the King Parish School in Tetere gathered for three days, characterized by moments of prayer, catechesis, and activities under the theme ‘Pilgrims of Hope: Children on their way to Jesus’.”

Based on the theme chosen for this Jubilee Year, the educators accompanied the young students and their families on various pilgrimages and charitable actions. Animation films and songs were included to illustrate in a simple way the spirit and meaning of the Jubilee as an opportunity for reconciliation and mutual forgiveness.
During the sessions, the history and symbols of the Jubilee were explained, there were moments of reflection for educators as well as reports on abuse prevention. (F.B.) (Agenzia Fides, 28/6/2025)
