Plenary Indulgence today for Year for Priests

As part of the celebration of the Year for Priests, a plenary indulgence is available today on the First Thursday of the month.

To obtain the indulgence the faithful must attend Mass in an oratory or Church and offer prayers to "Jesus Christ, supreme and eternal Priest, for the priests of the Church, or perform any good work to sanctify and mould them to his heart."

The conditions for the faithful for earning a plenary indulgence are to have gone to confession and prayed for the intentions of the Pope.

The mass at St. Landry Catholic Church is in the Valentin Hall Chapel at 12:10 PM. The intentions for today's mass are for Ruby Romero; Dwayne Joubert (BD) and family. Today is the Memorial of St. Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church. For more information on him, click here.

Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for August is: "That the word of God may be better known, welcomed and lived as the source of freedom and joy".

His mission intention is: "That Christians in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar, who often meet with great difficulties, may not be discouraged from announcing the Gospel to their brothers, trusting in the strength of the Holy Spirit".
