Grand 2000 Jubilee at the Cathedral: communiqué by Andreu Genovart, Vicar-General

In the evening of Christmas Day, the Pope John Paul II will open the Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, inaugurating solemnly and official the «Grand 2000 Jubilee». By order of the Holy Father, all the bishops in the world, in their own diocese, on Christmas Day will celebrate the inauguration of the Grand Jubilee in their "own churches".

In our Diocese, this solemn ceremony will take place in the Cathedral at 7 p.m. The Bishop invites all the faithful of Mallorca, and in particular the priests, religious communities, and laymen responsible for ecclesiastic institutions or organisations, to participate in this celebration when we will give thanks for the Incarnation of Jesus Christ in our flesh and in our history. At the same time (7 p.m.) the bells of all the churches of Mallorca will ring as a sign of happiness and communion with the whole Church.

On such an important day, after having shared the family table, we will share the Eucharistic table as members of a great family of the Diocesan and Universal Church. We will be waiting for you!

Andreu Genovart, Vicari General
