The Portiuncula Indulgence, also known as the Pardon of Assisi, is offered every year to all the faithful every 2 August of each year.

The Indulgence include complete reparation from sins and faults, and the total forgiveness granted to us for all our temporal sins, since 1216, when St. Francis of Assisi first requested it through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.

There are three conditions required for the Portiuncula Indulgence :

1. Receiving the Sacrament of Confession within eight days before or after 2 August each year

2. Attendance and full participation at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (Full devotion in the Mass)

3. Devout recitation of the Apostle’s Creed, Our Father, and a personal Prayer
