Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

One can gain a plenary indulgence for the Feast tomorrow:

The faithful, who devoutly use an article of devotion (crucifix or cross, rosary. scapular or medal) properly blessed by any priest, obtain a partial indulgence.

But if the article of devotion has been blessed by the Sovereign Pontiff or by any Bishop, the faithful, using it, can also gain a plenary indulgence on the feast of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, provided they also make a profession of faith according to any legitimate formula.

The above grant is taken from Norm 17 of the [1967] Apostolic Constitution The Doctrine of Indulgences. Also Norm 19 of the Enchiridion [1968]

Footnote: In order to bless an article or devotion properly the priest uses the prescribed formula, if there is any; otherwise, he makes a simple sign of the cross toward the article of devotion, laudably adding the words: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". In practice, a formula is to be used in the public blessing of scapulars, while a sign of the cross suffices for other cases.

Thank you for this information, Jenn. I have a statue of Our Lady holding Baby Jesus that was blessed by Pope Pius XII during WWII. I will be sure to say the Rosary in front of it tomorrow.

Jenn,

Do the other conditions apply here (Holy Communion, Confession and prayers for the Pope) or only when specified?

Yes, the necessary conditions for the Plenary Indulgences applies. A great source (very readable) online for indulgences is The Enchiridion of Indulgences which is the latest teachings under Paul VI that revamped all the indulgences.

For a refresher, here are the Norms, which explain what an indulgence is, and includes the conditions for Plenary indulgence, which are 3:
To acquire a plenary indulgence it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill the following three conditions:

sacramental confession,
Eucharistic Communion, and
prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff.

It is further required that all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent.

If the latter disposition is in any way less than perfect or if the prescribed three conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence will be partial only, saving the provisions given below in Norm 34 and in Norm 35 concerning those who are "impeded."
