The “Transitus of St. Francis” (Latin for passage or crossing) is a special liturgical celebration held annually on October 3rd, commemorating the death of St. Francis of Assisi in 1226. It is held on the eve of his feast day, remembering his passing from earthly life to heavenly life with joy and gratitude. It celebrates his passage from this life to God not with sorrow, but joy and songs. He viewed death as “Sister Death”. Franciscans worldwide gather on October 3rd for these prayer services. This prayer highlights Franciscan Spirituality of poverty, simplicity and finding joy in trusting God’s love, even in the face of death. Our Parish will be joining Franciscans all over the world praying this prayer on October 3rd .
