In the time of Eugene the Church had an ordinary jubilee every 25 years, which had a plenary indulgence attached to it under certain conditions. It was a time of renewal and aimed at personal conversion. 1825 was a year of jubilee in Rome, and then in the rest of the world it was observed from 1826-1827.<\/p>\n<p>This was a golden opportunity for the Oblates to gather people and to accompany them on the journey of deepening their faith and ongoing conversion. The Oblates were to be fully involved in the dioceses where their communities were. Thus Eugene insisted that the jubilee preaching be given priority over other commitments.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Do not commit yourself, very dear Father, for any mission from now on until the Jubilee in the diocese of Nimes.
