A GIFT OF AN INDULGENCE FOR THE SOLEMNITY OF SAINTS PETER AND PAUL (JUNE 29) AND THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEDICATION OF THE CATHEDRAL (JUNE 30)
The liturgical calendar of our Cathedral Basilica gives the clergy and faithful the opportunity to receive the gift of a plenary or full indulgence on the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul and the Anniversary of the Dedication of the Cathedral both of which we observe this weekend.
An indulgence obtains for us through power of the death and resurrection of Jesus the removal of the temporal punishment due to sin (the experience of purgatory) for ourselves or for a deceased loved one. To obtain an indulgence on both days, we must be intentional about all its parts and be in the state of grace--no attachment to sin. We must visit the Cathedral Basilica, pray the Creed and the Our Father--and this can happen alongside with participating in Holy Mass--receive the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation and Holy Communion on the day or several days before or after visiting the Cathedral Basilica as well as pray for the Holy Father (one Our Father and one Hail Mary). Only one plenary indulgence can be obtained a day. One confession suffices for several plenary indulgences in the days before or after visiting the Cathedral Basilica.

TOUR THE CATHEDRAL BASILICA
A MESSAGE FROM FATHER DENNIS GILL
Welcome to the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the mother church of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Francis Patrick Kenrick initiated the building of this magnificent Church in 1846. It was continued through the tenure of Saint John Neumann and completed in 1864 by Bishop (later Archbishop) Wood. You are invited to not only learn more about our Cathedral Basilica through this website but also to join us for liturgy, for private prayers and for a tour of our imposing Basilica.
