In conjunction with the Catholic Church, Seton Hall University has chosen the theme of “Jubilee 2000” to commemorate the arrival of the third millennium. Aimed at the spirit of renewal, the theme is rooted in the Old Testament. During the time of the Israelites, every seventh year, like every seventh day, was regarded as holy and set aside for rest. Every 50th year (the year that followed seven complete cycles of seven years), the year of jubilee was observed as a sabbatical year of special solemnity — a time of joy and a year of remission or universal pardon. As the year 2000 is a year of jubilee, the Catholic Church and the University chose to focus their millennium celebrations around this tradition in order to promote personal renewal and a strengthened relationship with the Church. According to Monsignor William C. Harms, D.Min., vice president for planning and chair of the University’s Millennium Committee, “In choosing to adopt this theme, the Millennium Committee realized that our University is made up of individuals with diverse beliefs. Though rooted in the Catholic Church, we feel the Jubilee 2000 theme represents a universal challenge to our community to enter this new century by rediscovering love, hope and faith.” The Seton Hall community is invited to participate in the following events in celebration of Jubilee 2000:
