Please join our Franciscan Brothers for a special Mass on Friday evening, October 3rd at 6:30pm in the Upper Church, followed by the Transitus of St. Francis from 7:15pm to 8:00pm. The Transitus is a para-liturgy celebrating the 799th Anniversary of the death of St. Francis and his birth into eternal life. After the Transitus, we will have a potluck meal in the Shrine Center from 8:00pm to 9:00pm. We gratefully appreciate any donations of food, desserts, and non-alcoholic drinks to this beautiful event with members of our Shrine family and friends. Thank you so much.
