During the Year of Saint Francis a plenary indulgence can be gained by the faithful who visit churches and shrines associated with the saint.
Prayers from Pope Leo and the Franciscan Family guide us as we celebrate the Jubilee Year of St Francis.
Pope Leo has declared the 800th Anniversary of the Death of St Francis a special Jubilee year.
We are part of the world-wide Franciscan Order present in 120 countries with some 13,000 friars. The wider Irish Province includes the Custody (Region) of the Good Shepherd in Zimbabwe and the Custody of the Immaculate Conception in Great Britain.
