The Jubilee of 2025 offers the faithful a unique opportunity to obtain a plenary indulgence through pilgrimages and acts of devotion. In the beautiful region of Tuscia, the Bishop of Viterbo, Orazio Francesco Piazza, has designated several churches as Jubilee sites where indulgences can be obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Apostolic Penitentiary.

Here is the list of churches in Tuscia designated for Jubilee 2025:

  • Basilica Cathedral of San Lorenzo, Viterbo: The mother church of the diocese and the spiritual heart of the city.
  • Basilica Sanctuary of the Madonna della Quercia, Viterbo: A place of profound Marian devotion.
  • Basilica Co-Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre, Acquapendente: Historically linked to pilgrimages to Rome.
  • Co-Cathedral of Saints Nicholas and Donatus, Bagnoregio: Located in the picturesque hometown of Saint Bonaventure.
  • Basilica Co-Cathedral of Saint Margaret, Montefiascone: Offering panoramic views of Lake Bolsena.
  • Basilica Co-Cathedral of Saint James and Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows, Tuscania: Testimonies of the region’s rich religious history.
  • Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Suffrage, Grotte di Castro: A center of ancient Marian veneration.
  • Sanctuary of Our Lady Liberatrice, Viterbo: A spiritual refuge for the faithful.
  • Sanctuary of the Crucifix of Castro: Open to pilgrims during specific periods of the Holy Year.
  • Church of the Trappist Monastery, Vitorchiano: Welcoming pilgrims on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of its founding.

To obtain the plenary indulgence, the faithful must:

  1. Pray for the intentions of the Holy Father: Recite the Our Father, the Profession of Faith, and invocations to the Virgin Mary.
  2. Sacramental Confession: Be purified through the sacrament of penance.
  3. Eucharistic Communion: Attend Holy Mass and receive the Eucharist.

Additionally, indulgences may be obtained by performing works of mercy, such as visiting the sick, prisoners, or those in need, offering time and support.

For those who, due to serious reasons, cannot physically participate in pilgrimages or celebrations, the indulgence may be obtained by reciting prayers at home or wherever they are, offering their sufferings and hardships.

The Jubilee is a time of grace and spiritual renewal. The churches of Tuscia welcome you to deeply experience this journey of faith and mercy.
