St. Francis Lives! Celebrating the Special Franciscan Jubilee Year
The Franciscan family is marking this year as “The Easter of St. Francis”, remembering his death, and, as importantly, celebrating his life. We invite you to join St. Francis of Assisi Parish, at St. Thomas A Becket church in South Barre, on Monday, May 18, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. for a reflection on the life of St. Francis by Corinne Lorenzet, a member of the Secular Franciscan Order. Corinne serves the Secular Franciscan Order of the US as a national councilor and as a spiritual assistant to several local fraternities.
She will explore with us the spiritual legacy that St. Francis has left us, in particular of his profound, intense devotion to the Eucharist, care for the poor and marginalized, caring for all of God’s creation, humility and being bearers of peace. Year of Saint Francis: Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed a Special Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi, running from January 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027, to mark the 800th anniversary of the saint's death.
