Plenary indulgences for this year’s March for Life

Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington and the bishop of the neighboring Diocese of Arlington announced Wednesday that the Catholic faithful may obtain a plenary indulgence by participating in the 2018 March for Life. Often misunderstood or simply unknown to many Catholics, an indulgence is a way to cut time off of Purgatory either for oneself or for a soul who has already died. [1]
