A Place of Pilgrimage
Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed the Jubilee Year of St. Francis, a special Holy Year of grace (Jan. 10, 2026 to Jan. 10, 2027). This year's Jubilee is in recognition of the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi's death, and his powerful witness to living the Gospel that is still relevant today. St Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is a Pilgrimage site where visitors may experience spiritual renewal and seek plenary indulgence.
Find out more below about how we are celebrating the Year of St Francis at our parish.
