Conditions for Receiving the Indulgence:

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has arranged that from Jan 10th/26 to Jan/27 is the Year of St. Francis. All Christian faithful are invited to follow the example of the Saint of Assisi, becoming models of holiness of life and constant witness of peace. The Apostolic Penitentiary grants the plenary indulgence under the usual conditions to those who participate devoutly in this extraordinary jubilee.

The grace of this special year is extended to all the faithful without distinction who, with their spirits removed from sin, visit in the form of a pilgrimage at any Franciscan conventional church or place of worship dedicated to St. Francis in any part of the world. The elderly, the sick and those who for serious reasons cannot leave home will also be able to obtain the plenary indulgence by spiritually joining the jubilee celebrations and offering prayers, pains of suffering to God.
