For gaining an indulgence five general conditions (being in a state of grace, detachment
from sin, confessing one’s sins sacramentally, receiving the Eucharist, and praying for the
Pope) are required. The conditions should be fulfilled on the day itself or close to it, with
the exception of sacramental confession, where it is sufficient that it be celebrated within
several days (about 20) before or after the indulgenced act. Indulgences can always be
applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other
persons living on earth. (See: http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/indulgences_conditions.htm)
The following confessions fulfill the indulgence condition:
– Palm Sunday, 4/13, at 3:15-4:30 PM (at St Hyacinth’s church) – Parish confessions {several priests}
– Palm Sunday, 4/13, at 10:30 AM at St. Hedwig’s church – BMA Parish confessions (one priest)
