Experience this Extraordinary Event
Pope Leo XIV designated 2026 as a Jubilee Year in honor of St. Francis of Assisi , on the 800th anniversary of his death, to be observed from Jan. 10, 2026, to Jan. 10, 2027. In his letter announcing the jubilee, the Pope hoped that St. Francis’ “message of peace may find a profound echo in the Church and society today.”
St. Francis holds profound significance in the Catholic faith as a giant of holiness and founder of the Franciscan Order, whose life embodied radical poverty, a love for all of creation and the promotion of peace.
