For a more perfect achievement of the intended aims, the Apostolic Penitentiary, through this Decree issued in accordance with the will of the Supreme Pontiff, on the occasion of the Year of Saint Francis, grants a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions (sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer according to the intentions of the Holy Father), also applicable in the form of suffrage for the souls in Purgatory.

This indulgence is applicable to all the faithful, who fulfill these conditions:

1. Have a heart detached from sin
2. Visit, in the form of a pilgrimage, any place of worship anywhere in the world dedicated to Saint Francis or connected to him for any reason
3. Spend at least a reasonable period of time in pious meditation and raise prayers to God, asking that feelings of Christian charity towards their neighbors and authentic vows of harmony and peace among peoples may spring forth in their hearts, following the example of St. Francis of Assisi
4. Offer a prayer to Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Clare, and the saints of the Franciscan Family
5. Offer the Our Father, a Hail Mary, and the Creed for Pope Leo XIV
6. Receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion on the day of the visit
7. Receive the Sacrament of Confession (3 weeks before or after the visit)

We invite you to visit our gardens. We have two spaces on our campus: Prayer Garden and Marian Garden. 

As you visit our prayer garden we invite you to reflect on the "Canticle of the Creatures". As you visit our Marian garden we invite you to reflect on the Magnificat & Salutation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. More information can be found in our pilgrimage packet. Click here!
