An Opportunity for a Plenary Indulgence This Saturday

I received this update via email this morning:

On Saturday, January 29th, the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, will be celebrating a Latin High Mass at 10am at St. Agatha Church in downtown St. Louis.

Although today (Monday, 24 Jan) is the feast of St. Francis de Sales in the new liturgical calendar, in the 1962 Missal calendar, Saturday, January 29 is his feast day.

Since St. Francis de Sales is one of the patrons of the Institute of Christ the King, the Holy Father has granted a plenary indulgence for anyone who attends Mass with the Institute that day (of course, all other normal requirements for gaining a plenary indulgence apply - that is, Confession 1 week before/after the date, no attachment to sin, and praying for the intentions of the Holy Father).

Thanks to Marc P. for the update.
