Celebrating the Jubilee Year
The Cathedral of St. Raymond has been chosen to be a Jubilee Site in the Diocese of Joliet.
By visiting the cathedral, you can gain a plenary indulgence.
The purpose of indulgences is, through prayer and acts of charity, to obtain remission of the temporal punishment due to sins that have already been forgiven in the Sacrament of Confession. Indulgences may be applied to the individual or to a soul in Purgatory.
Please invite others to receive this special Jubilee plenary indulgence. Groups are welcome.
Please contact our parish office for more details to schedule your visit.
How can someone get a plenary indulgence during this Jubilee Year?
- Visit St. Raymond or another designated Jubilee site and take part in Eucharistic adoration or meditation (in front of the Monstrance or tabernacle), and
- Be a Catholic in good standing, and
- Have an interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin, and
- Pray an Our Father, the Profession of Faith (Creed), and any prayer to Mary, and
- Receive the Sacrament of Confession (up to 20 days before or after the visit), and
- receive Holy Communion (on the day of the visit), and
- Pray for the Pope's intentions
How can someone get a special secondary plenary indulgence?
Usually, only one plenary indulgence can be obtained in one day. During the Jubilee Year, a Catholic may receive a 2nd Plenary Indulgence on the same day for one poor soul in Purgatory by, in addition to the above, also:
- Carry out an act of charity on behalf of a soul in Purgatory, and
- Receive Holy Communion a second time that day (see FAQ's)
