Legatus Celebrates 2025 Jubilee Year with Free Public Webinar Featuring Dr. John Bergsma

Registration for “The Year of Renewal: Biblical Roots and Spiritual Fruits of the Jubilee Year 2025” will be hosted on Legatus’ newly redesigned website.

ANN ARBOR, MI, April 14, 2025 — 2025 marks a significant event for the Catholic Church: the Jubilee Year, an opportunity to experience mercy, reconciliation, and renewal under the theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” In this special holy year, Legatus will celebrate another significant event in May with the organization’s 38th anniversary. Legatus plans to honor the occasion with a special free public webinar, “The Year of the Lord’s Favor: Biblical Roots and Spiritual Fruits of the Jubilee Year 2025,” on May 12, 2025, featuring guest speaker Dr. John Bergsma, professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville.

“Since our founding in 1987, Legatus has grown into the leading organization for Catholic executives seeking to grow in their faith and business,” said Legatus President Stephen Henley. “The more we grow, the better we can recognize the needs and challenges that Catholic business leaders are facing today—and the ones they will face tomorrow. As we rise to those challenges, part of our response is to create more resources that will be made available to the public at large, starting with this webinar, which we hope will serve to help foster greater interest in Catholic leadership and business practices. We are honored to have Dr. Bergsma share his expertise at this noteworthy event.”

Free Legatus’ Webinar Speaks to the 2025 Jubilee

Showing its commitment to serve the broader community, Legatus will host the free public webinar with Dr. Bergsma, who will focus on the theme of this year’s Jubilee. Dr. Bergsma will explore how Catholics can apply the spirit of the Jubilee in their business practices and daily lives.

In previous years, most Legatus events have remained exclusive to its members. One such event was the 2025 interview with Vic Gundotra, former senior vice president of Engineering & Product at Google and a key leader at Microsoft, who shared his expert insights on the unprecedented growth of AI and what it means for Catholic leaders today. Dr. Bergsma’s public webinar event marks a significant change in Legatus’ educational outreach.

Registration for the webinar is now open at legatus.org/the-year-of-renewal.
