Indulgences
Indulgences are the remission, in whole or in part, of the temporal punishment that is attached to the sins we have committed. By earning indulgences through prayer and other acts of charity, we can lessen our time in Purgatory or help those who are currently in Purgatory. Learn more about indulgences, including the requirements for specific indulgences, here.
Indulgence for a Visit to a Cemetery
Prayer for the souls in Purgatory is a requirement of Christian charity, and it helps us to call to mind our own mortality. This indulgence for a visit to a cemetery encourages us to spend even the briefest of moments in prayer for the dead.
