For 800 years Franciscans have gathered around the globe on the evening of October 3rd to commemorate the death of St. Francis of Assisi who died on this day in 1226. This evening I was able to pray, reflect, and celebrate with my new community here at Good Shepherd and I am incredible grateful for the beautiful service we had this evening! I also preached my second sermon of the day! Which you can find below along with the bulletin for the service of the Transitus of St. Francis.
