Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed a Special Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi, marking 800 years since the saint’s death and inviting the whole Church into a renewed season of grace, peace, and spiritual renewal. Beginning January 10 and extending through January 2027, this Franciscan Jubilee calls every Christian to follow the example of the Poverello, the “Little Poor One”, by becoming witnesses of peace, charity, and holiness of life. During this time, the faithful may receive a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions, including pilgrimage to a Franciscan church or a site dedicated to St. Francis. In announcing the jubilee, Pope Leo XIV emphasized that St. Francis’ message is especially urgent in a world marked by division, conflict, and environmental harm. True peace, the Holy Father reminds us, unites peace with God, peace among peoples, and peace with all of creation.
May this Jubilee Year inspire hearts to deeper conversion, renewed hope, and a lasting commitment to live the Gospel in the spirit of St. Francis.
