Welcome
If you have made your way to this site, you may be having an experience that I've had myself. The experience of being interested in learning about Catholic Indulgences but not knowing where to turn to find information, or how to apply such information once you've learned it.
It is my hope that this blog can help you with that.
NOTICE: This is only a personal reflection blog observing the topic of Indulgences and how they can be practiced. Please take the time to read the NOTICE page for more info on how the Catholic Church has installed regulations for the transfer of indulgence-related materials.
