List of Grants (Pt. 1)

I have to admit, I’m a little embarrassed. For over a year I’ve been releasing indulgence information in my blog, but I have yet to post the indulgence Grant information as a whole! My apologies! So here are the Grants of indulgence that are currently in effect. (This does not include the indulgences allowed for the Jubilee of 2025).

Just to make it easier, the grants will be divided into 4 parts.

• Article 1. 1-10

• Article 2. 11-20 (HERE) [pending]

• Article 3. 21-30 (HERE) [pending]

• Article 4. 31-33, The Divine Mercy Grant, and General Grants 1-4 (HERE) [pending]

The General Grants are usually listed first before all of the other Grants, but for the sake of easy numbering in each article they have been listed last.
