Denver to Celebrate 800 Years of St. Francis of Assisi

In brief

Annunciation Parish in Denver is planning a two-day festival to mark the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi. The celebration will include prayer, food, and activities, along with two opportunities for attendees to earn a plenary indulgence.

The Denver Capuchin Franciscans are organizing the event to encourage Catholics to reflect on the life of St. Francis, specifically his commitment to peace, simplicity, fraternity, and service to the poor.
