After 800 years St Francis' Canticle of the Creatures still speaks powerfully to us.
Pope Leo met thousands of young people in Assisi, including pilgrims from Ireland.
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.
