There must be at least a general intention to gain indulgences, and the prescribed work must be performed at the time and in the manner required by the grant.

Occasion and source notes
The archdiocese reports a local plenary-indulgence opportunity, but the underlying apostolic concession or delegation for this particular local term has not been located. The diocesan news report and publicly accessible official parish material do not identify it. This is an evidence gap, not a finding that no valid authorization exists. The reported period is retained as historical context; this row is excluded from confirmed current opportunities pending verification.
