Two Plenary Indulgences may be obtained by attending this event. For the Jubilee year the Cathedral is a pilgrimage site. By completing a pilgrimage to the Cathedral, the Jubilee plenary indulgence may be obtained under the usual conditions.
At the end of the Holy Mass, Bishop Battersby will impart the Papal Blessing with the attached plenary indulgence, obtainable by all the faithful who receive this Blessing under the usual conditions.
“Despite the rule that only one plenary indulgence can be obtained per day (cf. Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, IV ed., norm. 18, § 1), the faithful who have carried out an act of charity on behalf of the souls in Purgatory, if they receive Holy Communion a second time that day, can obtain the plenary indulgence twice on the same day, applicable only to the deceased” (Decree on the Granting of Indulgence during the Ordinary Jubilee Year 2025, III).
