Thematic/Charismatic Nuclei for the celebration of the Franciscan Centenary 2023-2026
The Franciscan Centenary Committee of the Franciscan Family released a letter in August 2022 calling the entire Franciscan Family to journey together in celebration of each of the stages of the Centenary: in 2023 the Rule and Christmas of Greccio, in 2024 the Stigmata, in 2025 the Canticle of Brother Sun and in 2026 the Transitus or, perhaps better, the Easter of Francis.
It seems to us very beautiful and significant that all of us, belonging to the one Franciscan Family, can retrace together, in the different countries and cultures of the world, the important stages of the last years of the life of “our” Francis of Assisi.
