What is the Golden Jubilee?

The Golden Jubilee is the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Diocese of Arlington.  This will be commemorated in November 2024. Such a momentous anniversary reminds us that others have gone before us and built the foundation we stand upon - that we are the ones now called to serve God in this diocese, evangelize in his name and share his compassion through works of mercy.

Why are we kicking off Jubilee celebrations in November 2021?
