Occasion and source notes
Documented availability in this library begins 8 January 2027. This marks the period supported by the reviewed evidence, not an independently established legal commencement date.
The decree took effect on publication, 15 October 2026, and separately names the jubilee year. It does not expressly settle whether the partial-indulgence clause also applies before or after that year. This listing identifies the certain jubilee interval without asserting that it is the concession’s proven legal commencement and expiry.
This is an express partial indulgence granted by the diocesan bishop. The operative clause prescribes contrition, pilgrimage, its stated purpose, and fervent prayer; it does not prescribe confession, Communion, or prayer for the Pope as separate plenary conditions. The diocesan pastoral program encourages additional activities, but those do not replace the decree’s wording.
