THE UNIVERSITY of Santo Tomas Santisimo Rosario Church has received an
extraordinary grant of plenary indulgence from Pope Benedict VVI to
usher in the opening of the Jubilee Door, in
connection with UST’s 400th anniversary celebration as Asia’s oldest
university.
In a letter through Cardinal Fortunato Baldelli, head of the Varican’s Apostolic Penitentiary, the Pope said he is giving a plenary indulgence on all those who will go to the UST church from January 2011-January 2012 “under the usual conditions of Sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion and prayers of the intentions of the Holy Father.”
Indulgence is defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church as a “remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven.”
The opening of the Jubilee Door tomorrow will be highlighted by the UST Quadricentennial Mass for Students at 5:15 p.m. at the UST Church with Manila Archbishop Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales as celebrant.
Historic UST, founded and run by the Dominicans, is the only Pontifical University in Asia.
