How to Obtain a Jubilee Indulgence

To receive a plenary indulgence during the 2025 Jubilee, you must meet specific spiritual requirements:

  1. Pilgrimage to a Jubilee Site: Visit a designated pilgrimage site and pass through a Holy Door, which symbolises Christ as the gateway to salvation. In the Archdiocese of Adelaide, the chosen sites are:
    • St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral in Adelaide
    • St. Joseph’s Church in Penola, celebrating the legacy of St. Mary MacKillop
    • St. Aloysius’ Church in Sevenhill, home to the Jesuit winery and significant religious heritage.
  2. Sacramental Confession: Receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation to be in a state of grace.
  3. Eucharistic Communion: Participate in Mass and receive Holy Communion, ideally on the same day as the pilgrimage.
  4. Prayer for the Pope’s Intentions: Offer prayers, such as the Our Father, Hail Mary, or prayers of your choice, for the intentions of the Holy Father.
  5. Interior Disposition: Commit to a heartfelt rejection of all sin, even venial sin, reflecting a desire for a genuine conversion of heart.

Those who are unable to make a pilgrimage due to illness, age, or other constraints can still receive the indulgence by spiritually uniting themselves to the Jubilee celebrations through prayer and acts of charity.
