The Enchiridion Indulgentiarum states that the faithful can receive a plenary indulgence (according to the usual conditions) for taking part in a public recitation or solemn chant of the Te Deum in a Church or Oratory on New Year’s Eve in thanksgiving for the year, or the Veni, Creator Spiritus today. Very few people I know are aware of this and there was some surprise when the Te Deum was recited in all Masses and Services yesterday in our Parish. I also noticed that last night the Holy Father ended Solemn Vespers with the singing of the Te Deum before the Blessed Sacrament, but these are the only two times I have heard of this happening. So how widespread is this practice?
