Our Lady of Angels, ora pro nobis
From noon of August 1st until midnight of August 2nd, the faithful can gain a plenary indulgence applicable to themselves or the Souls in Purgatory under the usual conditions:

1. Be in the state of grace.
2. Confession (8 days before or after).
3. Holy Communion.
4. Prayers for the intention of the Pope (Our Father, Hail Mary & Glory be.)
5. And by visiting a cathedral, any parish church, or a Franciscan church, and there praying one Our Father and the Creed.

The Portiuncula is a small church located in a little town situated about three-quarters of a mile from Assisi and is officially known as Santa Maria degli Angeli.
