Just announced! A plenary indulgence will be granted to
National Eucharistic Congress pilgrims!
Plenary Indulgence for National Eucharistic Pilgrimage
A decree issued by the Apostolic Penitentiary and approved by Pope Francis indicates that the plenary indulgence will be granted to the Christian faithful who participate in the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage at any point between May 17 and July 16, 2024. It will also be granted to the elderly, infirm, and all those who cannot leave their homes for a serious reason and who participate in spirit with the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, uniting their prayers, pains, or inconveniences with Christ and the pilgrimage. This indulgence is granted under the usual conditions of sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father. The faithful may also apply this indulgence through suffrage for the souls of the faithful departed in Purgatory.
Further, National Eucharistic Congress pilgrims may also receive a Papal Blessing. Read the entire announcement from the USCCB about the opportunities for the NEC pilgrims here.
