November Indulgences
“Toties Quoties” Indulgences
From noon on November 1st to midnight on November 2nd (a span of 36 hours), the Catholic
faithful, as often as they visit a church to pray for the faithful departed, and recite six times
during each visit the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for the intentions of the Church, may
gain a plenary indulgence applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, under the usual conditions
of:
• Confession (within a week before or after)
• Holy Communion (within the day before or up to a week after)
This plenary indulgence may also be gained from noon on the following Saturday to midnight
on the following Sunday, but only by those who did not gain it on the preceding November 1st
and 2nd.
Those who, within the octave of All Souls Day, visit the cemetery in a spirit of piety and
devotion and pray, even only mentally, for the departed may gain a plenary indulgence under
the usual conditions (confession, Holy Communion, visit to the Blessed Sacrament, and prayers
for the intentions of the Church, such as an Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be) on each day of the
octave, applicable only to the Holy Souls in Purgatory.
Those who recite prayers or perform other devout exercises for the departed during this month
may gain an indulgence of 3 years each day of the month, and a plenary indulgence under the
usual conditions, if they perform these devotions daily for the entire month.
Those who during November take part in public services held in a church in intercession for the
faithful departed may gain an indulgence of 7 years on each day of the month, and a plenary
indulgence under the usual conditions if they do so at least 15 days.
PRAY FOR THE POOR SOULS!
