Pilgrims can obtain a plenary indulgence in the Matri Ecclesiae Shrine until December 8, 2025.
Complete indulgence
On the occasion of our Shrine’s 20th anniversary, the Holy Father Francis, through the Apostolic Penitentiary, has granted that from 6 September 2024 to 8 December 2025, the faithful may obtain a plenary indulgence by visiting the Shrine under the usual conditions (prayer in the intention of the Pope, confession, Eucharistic Communion). The sick and those who cannot visit the Shrine can also obtain a plenary indulgence by offering their sufferings to the Lord or performing devotional practices.
In anticipation of the stream of pilgrims to the Shrine in the Holy Year 2025, all the pilgrims who come in 2025 are invited to join the coronation stream. They will be asked to pray the coronation prayer and symbolically crown Mary with a sticker that they can place on a picture of the MTA. They can then take this picture home with them. Pilgrims are also invited to sign a plaque in support of Father Kentenich’s “vision of the Church”, which we live in the context of a Church that strives for a synodal style as a legacy of the Second Vatican Council.
