The Pope’s agenda also confirms his participation in two significant Jubilee celebrations as part of the lead-up to the 2025 Holy Year. On March 9, at 10:30 a.m., Francis will preside over a Mass in St. Peter’s Square dedicated to volunteers, recognizing their essential role in serving communities worldwide

Pope Francis decrees that the liturgical feast of Mother Teresa of Calcutta be added to the Church’s universal calendar

The announcement, made by the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, reflects the continued resonance of Mother Teresa’s mission of mercy. The decree, signed by Cardinal Arthur Roche, acknowledges the countless requests from bishops, priests, religious communities, and lay faithful who sought a formal place for her commemoration in the Church’s liturgical life.
