To honor the 800th anniversary of the death and entrance into heaven of St. Francis of Assisi, Franciscan University of Steubenville will host a weekend academic conference exploring St. Francis, his view of death and eternal life, and the lasting relevance of his witness today
On October 6, Franciscans honor the memory of Saint Mary Frances of the Five Wounds (1715-1791), a Secular Franciscan noted for her deep life of prayer and works of charity.
On October 4, Franciscan men and women join other Christians, many religious people of other faiths, and countless people of goodwill throughout the world to honor the inspiring memory of Francis of Assisi, known as “il Poverello," that is, "the little poor one."
On the evening of October 3, 1226, Francis of Assisi passed from this life into the fullness of the Divine.
The feast of the great archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael (September 29) should not go by without recalling the deep devotion Saint Francis had to these heavenly protectors of Christians.
