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.
