THE PORTIUNCULA INDULGENCE
The Portiuncula Indulgence is the first plenary indulgence ever granted in the Roman Catholic Church. One who gains the Portiuncula Indulgence is freed from all temporal punishments and becomes as pure as after Baptism.
St. Francis of Assisi persuaded Pope Honorius III to grant a plenary indulgence to all who visit the Portiuncula (Little Portion) on the 2nd day of August and confess their sins. This indulgence has been extended to all Catholic churches throughout the world.
Since the mid-17th century, the Portiuncula (Little Portion) has been enshrined within the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli (Our Lady of the Angels) in Assisi.
