Per the Archbishop’s guidance regarding plenary indulgences:
That the plenary indulgence for the Jubilee Year 2025 may be obtained to the faithful who travel to these sites in the spirit of pilgrimage and participate in a liturgical event such as a Mass; That the plenary indulgence for the Jubilee Year 2025 may also be obtained by piously visiting these sites and engaging in a suitable period of Eucharistic Adoration and meditation, concluding with the Our Father, a Profession of Faith, and invocations of Mary, the Mother of God; and That the plenary indulgence will be available to the faithful from the local opening of the Jubilee Year on December 29, 2024 until the local closing of the Jubilee Year on December 24, 2025
The General Norms for Plenary Indulgences still apply, namely:
General Norms on a Plenary Indulgence
For the most part, the norms of the church regarding plenary indulgences is to be followed. In order to obtain a plenary indulgence, in addition to the work done to obtain the indulgence, the person must be in a state of grace and fulfill the following conditions
(Manual of Indulgences, Norm 20):
1. Detachment from all sin, even venial.
2. Sacramental confession
3. Reception of Holy Communion
4. Prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father.
These three conditions of sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father can be fulfilled up to 20 days before or after performing the works to gain the indulgence, but it is recommended that Communion and the prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father take place on the same day that the work is completed.
A single sacramental confession is sufficient for multiple plenary indulgences, but a separate holy Communion and a separate prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father are required for each plenary indulgence. If only some of the conditions are fulfilled, the indulgence is only a partial one.
A plenary indulgence may be applied to oneself or to a soul in Purgatory. Usually, only one plenary indulgence may be obtained in a day, but for the Jubilee year, a second plenary indulgence a day may be obtained and applied to a soul in Purgatory if an act of charity has been carried out on behalf of said souls. To obtain this second indulgence, the faithful must receive Holy Communion twice on the same day the two acts are done to obtain the indulgence.
