GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR A PLENARY OR PARTIAL INDULGENCE

• Must be Catholic and in a state of grace.
• Must have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin;
• Must have confessed their sins through the sacrament of confession (not just in your heart), within 20 days before or after the indulgence date.
• Must receive holy communion.
• Must pray for the intentions of the Holy Father

The above information is the requirements to obtain a plenary or partial indulgence.  To receive the indulgence attached to Divine Mercy Sunday is to take part in prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy or in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament (exposed or reposed in the tabernacle) reciting the Our Father, the Creed, adding a devout prayer to our mericiful Lord.  

As noted in the general requirements for a plenary or partial indulgence an individal "must have confessed their sins through the sacrament of confession, within 20 days before or after the indulgence date."  I will be offering some additional opportunities prior to Divine Mercy Sunday for the Sacrament of Reconcilation, in addition to some times on Divine Mercy Sunday itself.  As mentioned above for Good Friday, please do not wait until Divine Mercy Sunday to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.  Scheduled times marked with the "*" indicate that if there is a line Father Carroll can remain in the confessional past the end time.  If there is no line, confessions will conclude at the scheduled time.
