Franciscan Jubilee Year (January 2026 - January 2027)

1/10/2027

 
Pope Leo XIV Proclaims a Special Jubilee Year for the 800th Anniversary of the Death and Transit of St. Francis of Assisi! ​
We are delighted to announce His Holiness has decreed a special Jubilee Year (January 10, 2026 to January 10, 2027) to celebrate the anniversary of the passage of St. Francis of Assisi into Heaven.
 
This is a gift for the entire Church, not just for the Franciscan Family, and is an occasion for authentic spiritual renewal. St. Francis remains extraordinarily relevant in our own era, and Pope Leo invites everyone to “become saints in the contemporary world, following the example of [St. Francis],” turning hope into real charity and a real commitment to peace.

​You can find out about upcoming Jubilee events throughout the Archdiocese, by clicking here.
​
This decree grants the possibility of obtaining a plenary indulgence for those who visit any Franciscan Conventual church or place of worship dedicated to St. Francis. 
This includes our three parish churches! 

The plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions:
  1. Sacramental confession
  2. Eucharistic communion
  3. Prayer according to the intentions of the Holy Father, with a heart detached from sin (that is, deep down truly desiring to let go of all sins)

Nos complace anunciar que Su Santidad ha decretado un Año Jubilar especial (del 10 de enero de 2026 al 10 de enero de 2027) para celebrar el aniversario del paso al Cielo de San Francisco de Asís.

Este es un don para toda la Iglesia, no solo para la Familia Franciscana, y una ocasión para una auténtica renovación espiritual. San Francisco sigue siendo extraordinariamente relevante en nuestra época, y el Papa León invita a todos a «convertirse en santos en el mundo contemporáneo, siguiendo su ejemplo», convirtiendo la esperanza en verdadera caridad y un verdadero compromiso con la paz.

Puede informarse sobre los próximos eventos jubilares en toda la Arquidiócesis haciendo clic aquí.

Este decreto concede la posibilidad de obtener una indulgencia plenaria a quienes visiten cualquier iglesia conventual franciscana o lugar de culto dedicado a San Francisco. ¡Esto incluye nuestras tres parroquias!

La indulgencia plenaria se concede bajo las condiciones habituales:
  1. Confesión sacramental
  2. Comunión eucarística
  3. Oración según las intenciones del Santo Padre, con un corazón despegado del pecado (es decir, con un profundo deseo de liberarse de todos los pecados).
