The Holy Year of Mercy began Dec. 8, 2015, as designated by Pope Francis.

Archbishop Wilton D. Gregory named seven church buildings as locations for the Holy Doors of Mercy in response to the pope’s request to make the graces of the year widely available.

Pope Francis granted the possibility of a plenary indulgence, or the full remission of temporal punishment for sins committed, if certain steps were fulfilled in the spirit of conversion. The indulgence can be applied to one’s self or to the souls of the deceased.

To experience and obtain the indulgence, the faithful are called to make a pilgrimage to a designated Holy Door and pass through the door, make a sacramental confession, receive the holy Eucharist with a reflection on mercy, pray for the Holy Father and his intentions, make a profession of faith with the Apostles or Nicene Creed, and reject desire or temptation to commit sin.
