This year’s celebration has added significance as we observe the Jubilee Year of St. Francis, commemorating the 800th anniversary of his Transitus, his passing from earthly life into his heavenly home.

During this special Jubilee Year, the Church offers a plenary indulgence to the faithful who make a pilgrimage to a Franciscan church or a place of worship dedicated to St. Francis. To receive the indulgence, pilgrims should participate devoutly in the Jubilee observance or spend time in prayerful meditation, concluding with the Our Father, the Creed, and prayers invoking the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Francis, St. Clare, and the saints of the Franciscan family.

The usual conditions also apply: sacramental confession, reception of Holy Communion, prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father, and freedom from attachment to sin. The indulgence may be received for oneself or offered for a soul in Purgatory.

Bring your family and pets and join us for an afternoon of faith, fellowship, and community. All are welcome!
