Plenary Indulgence World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly
July 21, 2022
From Bishop O'Connell:
The Holy Father has extended the opportunity for a plenary indulgence ”to grandparents, elderly and all the faithful” who participate this weekend in World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly and “to the faithful who devote adequate time to visit, in presence or virtually, through the media, their elderly brothers and sisters in need or in difficulty.” The indulgence also applies to those who cannot leave home due to illness or other age-related incapacity but who participate spiritually. The usual conditions for receiving the plenary indulgence apply: sacramental confession, Holy Communion and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father.
