Pilgrims of Hope: Portsmouth Schools Unite in Song for the Jubilee Year 2025

In 2025, Pope Francis had called the Church to celebrate a Holy Year of Jubilee, a moment of renewal, hope, and joy that only comes once every 25 years.

To mark this special occasion, Portsmouth Music Hub has joined forces with St John’s Catholic Cathedral, the Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth, and four Catholic primary schools across the city to create Pilgrims of Hope, a brand new song composed especially for the Jubilee Year.

The project brings together young voices from across Portsmouth, celebrating the themes of faith, unity, and community that lie at the heart of the Jubilee.

The song features children from:

·       Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School

·       St John’s Cathedral Catholic Primary School

·       St Paul’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery

·       St Swithun’s Catholic Primary School
