Transitus 2025

“Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death, from whom no one living can escape.” ​- St. Francis of Assisi

Each year on the evening of October 3, the Franciscan Order throughout the world pauses to celebrate the solemnity of St. Francis of  Assisi’s death which is called the Transitus. (From Latin meaning passage or crossing.) This year, the Conventual Franciscan Friars and Secular Franciscans from our parish, along with other members of the Franciscan family, celebrated the Transitus at 7 PM at St. Ita church. It was a beautiful and solemn ceremony,
