The Original Shrine also becomes a Jubilee Holy Place

With great joy, the International Schoenstatt Family received the letter from the Diocese of Treves indicating the Original Shrine as a holy place of pilgrimage during this Holy Year of the Church. According to the determination of the Diocesan Bishop, Dr. Stephan Ackermann, pilgrims who visit the Shrine during the Jubilee Year will be able to receive the special grace of plenary indulgence.

Letter from the Diocese of Trier

Dear Father Rector,
In the name and on behalf of Bishop Dr. Stephan Ackermann, we are pleased to respond to your request to designate the Schoenstatt Shrine in Vallendar as a place of pilgrimage to gain the plenary indulgence in the context of the Holy Year 2025.

This designation is by the declared will of the Holy Father, Pope Francis, as he indicated in the promulgation bull “Spes non confundit” of May 9, 2024, in n. 24 and as then explicitly expressed several times in the decree of the Apostolic Penitentiary of May 13, 2024.

We invite you to adequately inform the faithful who will gather in the Original Shrine of Schoenstatt in the Jubilee Year 2025 about the possibility of obtaining the Plenary Indulgence under the usual conditions.

Especially in this Jubilee year, may the saints become models of hope, Christian love, and companions on our faith journey, especially Mary, the Mother of Hope (see Pope Francis’s address to the Wednesday audience on May 10, 2017).

Mary, Mother of Hope, pray for us.
