Year of the Priest - Special Indulgence

Until 19 June 2010:

“The Plenary Indulgence is granted to all the faithful who are truly repentant who, in church or in chapel, devoutly attend the divine Sacrifice of Mass and offer prayers to Jesus Christ the Eternal High Priest, for the priests of the Church, and any other good work which they have done on that day, so that he may sanctify them and form them in accordance with His Heart.”

The plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions. See my article Plenary indulgences not impossible.

Plenary indulgence for Pentecost

A plenary indulgence can be gained today by those who participate in the public singing of the Veni Creator Spiritus (or the English translation “Come Holy Ghost, creator come”). This hymn will be sung at the 6pm and 9am Masses in English and after the 10.30am Mass in Latin.

If you want further information about the conditions for gaining a plenary indulgence, my post "Plenary indulgences not impossible" may be helpful.

Stations of the Cross in Lent

During Lent we have Stations of the Cross in the Church each Friday at 7.30pm. To make the sacrifice of attending the Stations each week is a very worthwhile penance for Lent.

A plenary (under the usual conditions) is attached to devout participation in the Stations of the Cross.

Stations of the Cross during Lent

During Lent, there will be Stations of the Cross every Friday at 7.30pm in the Church. A Plenary Indulgence may be gained under the usual conditions.
