Transitus of Saint Francis

Please, join the Capuchins and the whole Franciscan family as we commemorate the Transitus – the passing into eternal life – of Saint Francis of Assisi. The service will begin at 7 PM, followed by some refreshments.

Tonight is when all the Franciscans around the globe and all who cherish the memory of St. Francis gather to remember and tell stories.

We have a simple story to tell: the story of Francis’ Transitus – or passage – from this life to eternal life.

And we tell the story in the simple and faith-filled words of Thomas of Celano, one of the early biographers of Francis.

We tell this story to remember our heritage, renew our Christian faith, and evoke our Christian hope, after the example of our Seraphic Saint. Francis of Assisi

Peace and all Good,

The Capuchin Friars & Staff
