Archbishop names six churches as pilgrimage sites for Pauline Year
In conjunction with the Year of St. Paul, Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein has designated the six parish churches in central and southern Indiana dedicated to St. Paul as pilgrimage sites. At each of these sites, Catholics can receive a plenary or full indulgence to highlight the Pauline Year and to open the way to, in the words of Pope Benedict XVI, the “interior purification” of the faithful during the coming months.
