Pope Leo XIV declared this the Year of St. Francis to commemorate the 800th anniversary of his death at sunset on October 3, 1226. In addition to Catholics, St. Francis is respected across many Christian denominations, as well as among Muslims, environmentalists, and human secularists.
Our parish will join in commemorations around the world with the following:
On Friday, Oct. 2 at 7:00pm there will be a Transitus Service, a memorial service that often includes a reenacting of St. Francis’ final hours with a reading from scripture, storytelling, and singing, keeping alive the spirituality that Francis and his early companions left us. All are invited to participate. If you would like to help plan this service, please contact Fr. Kevin.
