To make clear the particular bond of communion by which the minor basilica is united with the Roman cathedra of Peter, every year there must be celebrated with particular care:
The faithful who devoutly visit the basilica and within it participate in any sacred rite or at least recite the Lord's Prayer and the profession of faith may obtain a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Supreme Pontiff):
February 14 - Anniversary day St. Mary of the Angels church was granted title of Minor Basilica
June 29 - Anniversary day of St. Mary of the Angels' consecration (in 1919) and the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul
August 2 - Patronal Feast Day and Porziuncola Indulgence granted at the time of St. Francis of Assisi
October 4 - Feast of St. Francis of Assisi; Date selected by Bishop Richard J. Malone, Bishop of Buffalo
A day of the pilgrim's choice once a year
