The Jubilee Year Plenary Indulgence

Pilgrimage Information

The Jubilee Year began on December 24, 2024, when Pope Francis opened the Holy Doors at St. Peter’s Basilica. The doors will remain open until the end of the Jubilee Year on January 6, 2026. During this special Jubilee Year, millions of pilgrims are expected to travel to Rome to walk through the Holy Doors and participate in Jubilee events. Those who can’t travel to Rome can participate in the Jubilee locally by making a pilgrimage to Guardian Angel Cathedral, the special pilgrimage site for the Archdiocese of Las Vegas. 

For individuals: Individuals and families are encouraged to join us at one of our 16 weekly Masses. We have Confessions available Monday through Friday from 8:15 AM to 8:45 AM and 11:30 AM to 11:55 AM. We also have Confession on Saturdays from 1:30 PM to 2:15 PM.
