There are many ways you may choose to celebrate the Jubilee Year. One such way is through works of mercy.
What is a Work of Mercy? Works of Mercy include both the Corporal (physical) and Spiritual actions we take, as found in the teachings of Jesus, to help address the needs of others. In our Catholic tradition there are seven of each. You can read more about works of mercy on the USCCB website.
