Pope Declares Global Franciscan Jubilee to Honor St. Francis
TL;DR
Pope Leo XIV proclaimed a Special Year of St. Francis to mark the 800th anniversary of the saint’s death, granting a plenary indulgence to the faithful who visit Franciscan conventual churches or join the jubilee in spirit under the usual conditions (confession, Communion, and prayers for the pope’s intentions); the elderly, sick, and homebound can participate spiritually. The Jubilee runs through January 2027 and seeks spiritual renewal amid a troubled world.
