In a few months I will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of my Baptism. I see many posts on celebrating/renewing vows with children or at the Easter Vigil but not many for adults on their anniversary. I am seeking ideas to make this year special as well as practical tips to earn the indulgence. I lost my husband and see this as a fresh start as I struggle to find the new path the Lord has set for me. I do not have any family to celebrate with nor do I have the original candle.
The plan at the moment is to travel to the church I was originally baptized at, attend Mass, and say both parts of the prayers myself after the service. Confession would be at a local Church that week. Would it be permissible to ask that a new candle be blessed to light on future anniversaries? Would it be permissible to have a medal or Crucifix blessed to keep with me throughout the day? I see many forms of the renewal vows which should be used? Is this one of the occasions to request a Papal Blessing on Parchment?

It’s great that you want to celebrate your Baptism like this. So many Catholics don’t even know the date of their Baptism.
