November 1-8, the Church grants a plenary indulgence to anyone who visits a cemetery, prays for the dead, and performs the other essential acts for this special grace. In addition to visiting a graveyard, one must go to Confession, receive Holy Communion, offer at least a couple of prayers for the Holy Father’s monthly intentions, and free oneself from any attachment to sin. It’s best to fulfil all the requirements on the same day, but Confession, Communion, and prayer for the pope’s intentions may take place on within a few days before or after the cemetery visit. Another plenary indulgence will be granted for All Souls' Day for visiting a Catholic church and praying there an Our Father and the Creed for the Holy Souls. The usual conditions apply – Confession, Holy Communion, prayer for the Holy Father, and detachment from sin – carried out within a few days of All Souls’ Day.
