The indulgence may be obtained under the usual conditions throughout the entire Year of Saint Francis, which will last from January 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027. The plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions: sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father, with the condition of complete detachment from all sin.

May the Lord be with you!
