For this Jubilee Year of 2025, Bishop Raimo Goyarrola has decided that all eight parish churches of the Diocese of Helsinki shall be destinations for the pilgrimage of hope and places where the plenary indulgence can be obtained. The Jubilee indulgence can be gained by confessing one’s sins, receiving Holy Communion in the church, and praying for the intentions of the Holy Father. It is also recommended to recite the Our Father and the Hail Mary. To obtain the indulgence, it is necessary for the faithful to be in a state of grace and detached from all sin.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation cleanses us of the guilt of our sins, but an indulgence removes the traces of sin in the human soul. Thus, an indulgence “helps us understand God’s boundless mercy,” as the Holy Father writes. “Not by chance, for the ancients, the terms “mercy” (misericordia) and “indulgence” (indulgentia) were interchangeable, as expressions of the fullness of God’s forgiveness, which knows no bounds.” (Spes non confundit, 23). The faithful may obtain one indulgence per day under the above conditions. The indulgence can be applied either to oneself or for the benefit of a deceased person.
