The Official Proclamation OF the Bishop OF
st. Paul.
To the Rev. Clergy and Faithful of the Diocess
of st. Paul:
BY apostolic letters Of date 18th of Feb.
1879, our holy father. Leo KILL, has pro-
claimed plenary indulgence in the form of a
general jubilee, to commence On the first Sum
day in Lent and to continue to Penteoost Sun
day. which will be the first day of june, in
clusively. We devoutlv comply with the
solemn Injunction of the supreme pastor and
! hereby proclaim this jubilee in our city and
diocese of st. Paul. $50
The conditions for obtaining the indulgence
of the jubilee are prescribed as follows: l.
Six visits to bemade to one several churches,
as the case may. be, and at each visit to offer up
for the prosperity and exaltation Of
the Catholic church and the apostolic
see, for the extirpation of heresies
Tor the conversion Of all who are in
error, for the concord of Ghristian princes. for
the peace and unity of all the faithful, and for
the intention Of the Pope granting this indul-
gence. q To fast once, or one day, using
only abstinence food; this must be 4 day on
which the fast is not otherwise of predept.
8. To give aims to the poor or in aid of some
Pious work, as may be suggested by the piety
Of each. 4. To make good confession and
EeCe1VeaQOly communion.
We designate the churches that are to be
visited for the purpose of the Jubilee as
follows: in St. Paul the Cathedral, the Church
of the Assumption, and st. Mary's; in
Minneapolis, the Church of St. Anthony, st.
Boniface's, and the Immaculate Conception;
in Winona, st. Thomas, st. Joseph's and
st. Stanislaus; in Hastings, The Guard
sa Aase g. 5 1aa It. Baesss ana ST.
Peters; in Faribault, the Immaculate Concep-
ton and st. Lawrence's; in Shakopee, st.
Marks and st. Mary's; in Belle PLANE, St.
Martin 8 and SIS. Peter and Paul; in Saltwater,
she n.r ad ST. Ma y in all
three churches are designated, two visits are to
be made to each church; where two churches
are designated, three visits are to be made to
each; in all other places six visits are to be
made to one parish church. The evening SER
avalled of for making these visits.
The jubilee fast can be observed on any of
the days of Lent, on which the use of flesh
meat is allowed. by abstaining from the use of
meat on that day.
The annual confession and communion, at
Easter. which are of precept, cannot supply
for the confession and communion which are
prescribed for the jubilee.
1t is advisable that all the other conditions
should be complied with before receiving holy
communion, making this the last of the con-
ditions fulfilled for gaining the jubilee in
diligence.
Though it is optional as to what charity or
pious work the jubilee aims are to be applied,
we would sugg ,st as most suitable object the
seminary fund for the education of young
men for the holy ministry. The need for
priests is growing every year greater with the
increasing population of the diocese. We
recommend that boxes to receive these aims be
placed in the several churches.
IT will be well, as has been customary, for
past ors to appoint time in their respective
districts for special instructions upon the jubi
lee and for fulfilling the conditions. Pastors
will be able in this way to render assistance to
each other. both in the exhortations and in
structions and in the holy tribunal. They will
use every endeavor in order that all under their
charge may be brought to avail themselves Of
the privileges of the jubilee, and be we'll pre-
pared SO as to participate in all abundance in
those spiritual blessings, and by their increased
piety and fervor obtain from God favorable
answer to their prayers for the objects proposed
| and for the intention of the holy father.
This letter will be read, together with the let.
ter of the holy father, proclaiming the jubilee,
in all churches by the respective pastors the
first Sunday after it's reception.
THOMAS L. GRACE, Bishop of st. Paul.
St. Paul, March 49, 1879.
