Schedules of pilgrimage sites for indulgence

    The Archdiocese of New Orleans has established eight places of pilgrimage where the faithful may visit and participate in Mass, eucharistic adoration, benediction or some other liturgical service for the purpose of receiving a plenary indulgence during the  Year of Faith’s worldwide observance, which ends Nov. 24.
    Those seeking the indulgence conclude their time of prayer and meditation at the pilgrimage site by praying the Our Father, the Apostles’ Creed (or another profession of faith such as the Nicene Creed), a prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary and any prayer for the intentions of the pope. Within three days before or after the pilgrimage, they must receive holy Communion and the sacrament of penance.
    For more information on how to receive the plenary indulgence, visit archdiocese-no.org.
