Please join His Excellency Bishop Gerard William Battersby at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Eau Claire on May 31 for the second of three Jubilee events for the Diocese of La Crosse.

Two Plenary Indulgences may be obtained by attending this event. For the Jubilee year Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Eau Claire has been designated as a pilgrimage site. By completing a pilgrimage to this church 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).
