By mandate of the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, the Apostolic Penitentiary has granted a plenary indulgence for the Centennial Jubilee Year at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Portland, Oregon (February 14, 2026–February 13, 2027). The faithful who participate in the jubilee celebrations or who make a pilgrimage under the jubilee conditions may receive this special grace. For the benefit of the faithful, this blessing will be imparted on Sunday, June 7, 2026, after the 2:00 PM Solemn Mass and before the consecration of the entire Archdiocese to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Eucharistic Procession.
