800 ans de la mort de saint François, des célébrations entre mémoire et avenir

The Vatican presented a schedule of events on Thursday, September 17, to mark the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi. The celebrations will center on October 4 in Assisi, the Italian city where the saint was born.

Bishop Accrocca stated that the teachings of Saint Francis remain relevant because they offer a radical reading of the Gospel. The anniversary program aims to reflect on the saint's legacy while looking toward the future.
