The following List of Plenary Indulgences for particular days was composed by Fr Finigan, Parish Priest at Our Lady of the Rosary, Blackfen, Kent, England.
The following is a non-exhaustive List of Plenary Indulgences, focussing on those Indulgences which Priests might promote in their Parishes, and those which the Faithful can easily obtain.
The numbers, alongside each occasion when a Plenary Indulgence may be gained, refer to The Enchiridion Indulgentiarum (Editio Quarta) 2004, which should be consulted for the definitive description of each work.
