Exciting news! The Archdiocese of New York has designated St. Frances Cabrini Shrine as a sacred pilgrimage site for the 2025 Jubilee of Hope.
This means that when you make a pilgrimage to the Shrine during the Jubilee year, attend Mass, make your confession, pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, and practice detachment from sin, you will receive a plenary indulgence.
Which raises the question: what’s a plenary indulgence? It’s the complete removal of the temporal consequences of sin. If that sounds confusing, we suggest this short video for a good overview of what indulgences are and how they can be a tremendous help in your spiritual life.
Next month we will announce the Shrine’s line-up of Jubilee events. These will include:
- A new exhibit on Mother Cabrini and hope
- Monthly “Evenings of Hope” in both English and Spanish
- Talks by noted speakers
- A Music of Hope concert series
- A series of community days with hands-on projects designed to bring hope to marginalized populations
The full lineup of events for shrines across the country (including here) will be updated regularly here.
You can read the full degree about the Jubilee issued by Pope Francis on the Vatican web site.
