All Souls’ Day
A plenary indulgence, each time. This indulgence, like that of the Portiuncula, may be gained as often as a person visits a church or public chapel of the Benedictines, whether monks or nuns, between first Vespers on Nov. 1 and sunset on Nov. 2. Communities and those dwelling with them may use a semipublic chapel.
Those who wear a duly blessed medal of St. Benedict and are hindered from visiting a church or public chapel of the Benedictines by infirmity, enclosure, or distance (more than a mile), may gain the same indulgence by visiting any church or public chapel. — Pius X, Feb. 27, 1907; Sept. 2 and 11, 1907.
