Little by little, the papal agenda for the 2025 Jubilee is taking shape, and what is clear is that it will not be light. One example is the return of the Pope's public catechesis on Saturdays. The Vatican's official in charge of the organization of Jubilee events confirmed this.

I can already say that in addition to Wednesday audiences, the Pope will also hold audiences on Saturdays when there are no major events scheduled for him on those days. So there will also be this papal audience on Saturdays.
Although Pope Francis is 87 years old, Archbishop Fisichella says he finds the Pope to be in good shape.
For example, a few days prior, the Pro-prefect recalled how the Pope showed no signs of fatigue at a prayer meeting in a Roman parish.

Fortunately, Pope Francis is going strong. He has already confirmed his presence at all the Jubilee events that I introduced to him a few months ago. And without going any further, in the past few days we saw how he went to this prayer event on the outskirts of Rome and the Pope did not want to leave.
Pope Francis has a demanding agenda for the second half of 2024 and for the Jubilee. In September, he will travel throughout Oceania, Asia and Europe for pastoral visits in 6 countries. And during the Jubilee, he will add these Saturday catecheses to the long list of events with different groups that will require his presence.
