One can obtain a plenary indulgence on August 2nd by visiting a parish church and doing the following:

- Say one “Our Father” and one “Hail Mary” for the intentions of the Pope on the day you perform the indulgenced work.

- Worthily receive Holy Communion, ideally on the same day on which you perform the indulgenced work or at least within a few days of performing the indulgenced work.

- Make a Sacramental Confession within a week of (before or after) the day on which you perform the indulgenced work.

- It is also required that one be free from all attachment to sin, even venial sin.

(Indulgences may be obtained for oneself or may be applied to the souls in Purgatory, but they may never be done for other living persons.)

As for the technical stuff, you can read the "Handbook of Indulgences" which is the current document of the Church for setting forth the guidlines and permitted indulgences.

“22. The prescribed work for gaining a plenary indulgence attached to a church or oratory is a devout visit there, which includes the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer and the Creed (Pater Noster and Credo), unless otherwise stated in a specific grant.”
“23. 1. Besides the exclusion of all attachment to sin, even venial sin, the requirements for gaining a Plenary Indulgence are the performance of the indulgenced work and fulfillment of three conditions: Sacramental Confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the Pope’s intentions.
2. Several Plenary Indulgences may be gained on the basis of a single Sacramental Confession; only one may be gained, however, on the basis of a single Eucharistic Communion and prayer for the Pope’s intentions.
3. The three conditions may be carried out several days preceding or following performance of the prescribed work. But it is more fitting that the Communion and the prayer for the Pope’s intentions take place on the day the work is performed.
4. If a person is not fully disposed or if the prescribed work and the three mentioned conditions are not fulfilled, the Indulgence will only be partial ...”
5. The condition requiring prayer for the Pope’s intentions is satisfied by reciting once the Our Father and Hail Mary for his intentions (Pater Noster and Ave Maria); nevertheless all the faithful have the option of reciting any other prayer suited to their own piety and devotion.”

The Portiuncula, in the plain below Assisi, is one of the chapels that St. Francis rebuilt with his own hands around 1206. The chapel became the “cradle” of his Order and precious to all friars, Poor Clares and Secular Franciscans. St. Francis received Lady Clare there in 1212 and died there in 1226.

The Portiuncula, in the plain below Assisi, is one of the chapels that St. Francis rebuilt with his own hands around 1206. The chapel became the “cradle” of his Order and precious to all friars, Poor Clares and Secular Franciscans. St. Francis received Lady Clare there in 1212 and died there in 1226.

Pope Honorius III granted to St. Francis the privilege that on August 2, the feast of Our Lady of the Angels, a plenary indulgence could be gained there. Now the Portiuncula Indulgence may be gained also in other churches from noon on August 1 until midnight on August 2 by making a visit to the church and fulfilling the usual requirements for a plenary indulgence.

Twenty five years ago on October 27th, 1986, Pope John Paul II invited representatives of the world’s major religions to Assisi for a Day of Prayer for World Peace. They started their day of prayer at the Portiuncula.

This year the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land will host a multi-religious gathering on Sunday, Oct. 16 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the historic “Prayer for Peace” day and to inaugurate ten days of prayer for peace in anticipation of the gathering of the world’s religious leaders in Assisi on October 27th. Please plan to participate. Read more about the multi-religious gathering on Sunday Oct. 16.
