Conditions common to every indulgence

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.

Devout church visit and the prescribed prayers
Editorial estimate
About 5–15 minutes at the church (editorial estimate)
No fixed minimum is prescribed. About 5–15 minutes is an editorial estimate for the visit and short prayers; devotion, the complete prayers, and the specified place remain necessary.
What the time estimate excludes
- Ordinary travel to and from the venue, and waiting outside the prescribed work
- Separate fulfillment of the usual plenary conditions, except prayers or Mass expressly included in the branch.
Occasion and source notes
Dates show customary Roman or proper religious-family celebrations. Follow lawful liturgical transfers and the grant’s own local calendar. Membership, place, frequency and other conditions remain necessary. For the dated church or oratory visit, Norm 14 permits the visit from noon on the preceding day until midnight ending the observance. Follow the actual local observance and access hours; any required celebration, membership and frequency limits still apply.
Prayer texts and resources
Follow the prayer count and formula specified in the requirements. The two Creed readers are alternatives.
