Visiting St. Patrick’s Seminary’s Main Chapel during the Jubilee Year of Hope is an indulgenced act. A plenary indulgence can be gained only once a day. In order to obtain one, the faithful must:
- Have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin;
- Have sacramentally confessed their sins within one week of their visit;
- Receive the Holy Eucharist (it is certainly better to receive it while participating in Holy Mass, but for the indulgence only Holy Communion is required) within one week of their visit;
- Pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.
“Brothers and sisters, with the opening of the Holy Door we have inaugurated a new Jubilee, and each of us can enter into the mystery of this extraordinary event. Tonight, the door of hope has opened wide to the world. Tonight, God speaks to each of us and says: there is hope also for you! There is hope for each of us.”
– Pope Francis, December 24, 2024
