Each pilgrimage site in our Archdiocese offers a unique opportunity for prayer, reflection, and deepening your relationship with Jesus Christ in this Jubilee Year. By visiting these sacred places and fulfilling the necessary conditions, you can gain the gift of a plenary indulgence.
We pray that your visit and prayer time renews your Hope in the Lord and the infinite Mercy He bestows upon us.
What is a Plenary Indulgence?
A plenary indulgence is a special grace that completely removes the temporal punishment for sins already forgiven, cleansing the soul as if the person had just been baptized.
How does a plenary indulgence work?
To better understand how a plenary indulgence works, it’s important to understand sin, forgiveness, and temporal punishment:
Sins and Forgiveness: When we sin, God forgives us through the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession). After forgiveness is received, consequences or effects caused by the sin may remain in our hearts. These effects need healing.
Temporal Punishment: This is the effect of sin that needs to be healed after forgiveness is granted. Spiritually, temporal punishment is a way of restoring and healing the relationship with God and others, often seen as purification that can happen in this life or in purgatory after death, or, during a special time such as this Jubilee Year, by fulfilling the necessary requirements to obtain a plenary indulgence.
You can offer this indulgence for yourself or a soul in purgatory—let’s make Heaven crowded!
How to Obtain a Plenary Indulgence During the Jubilee Year
Confession: Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation with genuine contrition and a resolve to amend your life. (you can receive it 8 days before or after your visit)
Eucharist: Participate in Mass and receive the Eucharist with love and reverence. (you can attend Mass 8 days before or after your visit)
Prayer for the Pope's Intentions: Pray for the Holy Father’s intentions, often with an Our Father and Hail Mary.
Detachment from Sin: Foster a complete detachment from all sin, even venial sin.
Acts of Mercy: Engage in acts of charity, such as helping those in need.
Pilgrimage or Holy Visit: Visit a designated sacred site, like our own ACP, and reflect on the spiritual significance of your journey. (you are here!)
Have a blessed prayer time!
