Bishop René Leigue presided over the closing Mass of the international seminar "800 Years: Pascua de San Francisco de Asís y Vida Evangélica" at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa Cruz on Friday, September 11, 2026. The event brought together the Franciscan community and the faithful to commemorate 800 years since the Pascua of San Francisco de Asís.

During his homily, Bishop Leigue described San Francisco as a man who underwent a profound transformation rather than a superficial change. He noted that after a period shaped by his social and family circumstances, San Francisco experienced events that led him to re-examine his life and direction. The Archbishop emphasized that true conversion requires a radical change that involves a person's entire existence. He presented the saint as a committed figure who moved away from material comforts to dedicate himself to the Gospel and those in need.
