The Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, celebrated on June 29, focuses on the martyrdom of St. Peter and Paul. This is a Red-Letter Day.
Red-Letter Days are celebrated at major and minor Basilicas one of which is our very own Little Flower Basilica.
The faithful who devoutly attend Mass at Little Flower Basilica may obtain a plenary indulgence under the conditions that they also make sacramental confession, receive Eucharistic Communion during the Mass, and pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff (Pope Francis).
For June, Pope Francis’ intention is for migrants fleeing their homes: that migrants fleeing from war or hunger, forced to undertake journeys full of danger and violence, find welcome and new opportunities in the countries that receive them.
