DONATE

The Jubilee of St. Francis

by

On January 10, Pope Leo XIV proclaimed The Jubilee of St. Francis of Assisi. This Jubilee year will span to January 10, 2027, and commemorates 800 years since St. Francis’ passing.

As Franciscans, we consistently ruminate on St. Francis’ life and ministry. However, during this year all the faithful are urged to recall his emphasis on humility, poverty, and peace. For the Jubilee the Apostolic Penitentiary have also granted Plenary Indulgences. By meeting conditions such as a sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion, and prayer faithful may become eligible to receive such indulgence.
