A message from the Spirit of Francis website: Each year on 4th October, Christians and many others around the world celebrate the Feast of St Francis of Assisi- the joyful friar whose life of simplicity, compassion, and kinship with all creation continues to inspire, eight centuries on. The Feast is a day to say thank you for this vision of hope – to remember that faith is about relationship: with God, with one another, and with the Earth itself. In October 2026 we will mark 800 years since St Francis’s death – not as a moment of mourning, but of renewal. The anniversary invites us to walk again in his footsteps: to live simply, act justly, rebuild what is broken, and recognise Christ’s presence in every person and every part of creation. We would love you to visit the Spirit of St Francis website: https://www.spiritoffrancis.com/ to find out about the Pilgrimages and events. The interactive Advent Calendar needs to be seen! You can also download the On New Roads, 2026 Franciscan Peace Pilgrimage leaflet . There is a Franciscan Lent Book for 2026 which you can order via Suzi at Hilfield called ‘Lent-Scapes; Landscapes of Penance, Peace and Reconciliation’, costing £10 plus postage and packing. www.spiritoffrancis.com
