Devotees who fulfill the conditions of confession, communion and prayer for the pope's intentions may gain a plenary indulgence on August 5, on the major feast days of the Virgin Mary or on a day of their choice once a year. This is in virtue of the shrine's inscription as Spiritual Affiliate of the Archbasilica of St. Mary Major in Rome in September 2012.
