The prescribed work

Make a pilgrimage to Tiêu Động Thượng parish church and devoutly participate in the jubilee liturgical celebrations and pious exercises, following the local program; the chancery names Mass and Eucharistic adoration.
Spend suitable time in prayer and meditation, concluding with the Our Father, Creed and invocations to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the saints.
Fulfil the usual conditions, including complete detachment from sin.
The chancery lists regular Wednesday pilgrimages and special celebrations, and also invites other pilgrimage groups throughout the jubilee by arrangement with the parish. Its published program includes adoration, veneration of Saint Peter Hiếu and Mass.
The announced concession ends on 24 November 2026; the same notice schedules the local closing celebration for 14 November. Confirm the parish’s arrangements for the final days.

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.
