Update: 1 The Order of Preachers or The Dominicans are also celebrating a Jubilee Year of Mercy which end in January 2017. Within Trinidad and Tobago there are designated churches where the Jubilee Prayer is posted along with the conditions for receiving an indulgence.
2 One of my sisters is undertaking some Bible study classes and earlier in 2015 they were undertaking a study of the prophets of the Bible, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea. Shortly after starting to read the books on the prophets, the Jubilee Year of Mercy was announced. Here is a link to a site with information on the prophets. https://lifehopeandtruth.com/bible/holy-bible/old-testament/the-prophets/the-major-prophets/
