How to receive Jubilee Indulgence
March 28 - December 28
Clarification on Holy Doors during the Jubilee of Hope
The Archdiocese of Vancouver has received many inquiries regarding Holy Doors during the Jubilee Year of Hope. This Jubilee Year, Pope Francis has designated Holy Doors exclusively at the four major papal basilicas in Rome to highlight the unity of the universal Church and to invite Catholics worldwide to make the traditional pilgrimage to Rome. There are no Holy Doors in Vancouver, though Catholics can still obtain the Jubilee Indulgence by following the instructions below.
How to receive Jubilee Indulgence
