Fraternite Saint-Pie X barred from Assise basilica

In brief

The Fraternite Saint-Pie X was barred from entering the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assise as a community on Sunday, September 6, 2026. The group had traveled to the basilica to conclude their annual pilgrimage by singing the Credo.

Don Gabriele d’Avino, the Superior of the Italy District, gave an exhortation on the plaza before the pilgrims sang the Credo publicly.
