The prescribed work

Make a pilgrimage or pious visit to a designated jubilee church; there, participate in Mass, Eucharistic adoration, the Rosary or another approved pious exercise, especially in Mary’s honour.
Fulfil the usual plenary conditions. Consult the local diocese for its designated churches, actual period and observances.

The work and its conditions

A plenary indulgence also requires complete detachment from every sin, sacramental confession, Holy Communion, and prayer for the Pope’s intentions, subject to the grant’s stated exceptions. The ordinary limit is one plenary indulgence per day.

Conditions common to every indulgence

The person gaining an indulgence must be baptized, not excommunicated, and in the state of grace at least when the prescribed works are completed. 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.

Read the full conditions and norms. The cited grant and its specific provisions govern.

Time required

Read each branch with its own conditions. An editorial estimate is not a prescribed minimum.

Pilgrimage/visit and Mass

Complete the prescribed event

Duration of the pilgrimage or visit and actual Mass.

No fixed minimum is stated in the pastoral directions. Allow for the actual pilgrimage or visit and Mass; the separate apostolic authorization and exact operative period of this reported route remain under verification.

Timing sources

Pilgrimage/visit and Eucharistic adoration

Duration varies

Variable; no fixed number of minutes is prescribed.

The pastoral directions give no numeric minimum for this adoration alternative. Allow for the pilgrimage or visit and actual adoration, following local directions. Authorization and exact period remain under verification.

Timing sources

Pilgrimage/visit and Rosary or another approved exercise

Duration varies

Variable; no fixed number of minutes is prescribed.

Duration includes the reported visit and selected pious exercise. Five spoken Rosary decades commonly take about 15–30 minutes as an editorial estimate; that does not time the full pilgrimage or set a legal minimum. Authorization and exact period remain under verification.

Timing sources

What the time estimate excludes

Ordinary travel to and from the venue, and waiting outside the prescribed work
Separate confession, Communion and prayer for the Pope’s intentions, except where a branch expressly includes the prescribed celebration

Occasion and source notes

The January–December 2026 term published for the separate papal-blessing faculty does not establish the term of this reported pilgrimage or spiritual-union route.

The Chilean Episcopal Conference’s signed pastoral letter of 9 April 2026 gives these practical directions. The separate January announcement identifies an Apostolic Penitentiary concession for a papal blessing; the recovered sources do not establish the apostolic instrument or delegated faculty for these different works. This entry preserves the reported directions while that connection and the exact operative period are verified; it does not declare the reported indulgence invalid.

Prayer texts and resources

Follow the prayer count and formula specified in the requirements.

Source and exact reference

Prayer texts and grants have separate source histories. Consult the grant source for the prescribed work, occasion, and conditions.
