Transitus Service for St. Francis of Assisi

The Our Mother of Sorrows Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order invites the public to a Transitus Service commemorating the passing (or Easter) of St. Francis of Assisi on Saturday, October 3, at 7:00 p.m. at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 1449 Wilcox Park Dr. SE, Grand Rapids. The Transitus is a traditional Franciscan prayer service that recalls the final moments of St. Francis' life and celebrates his passage from earthly life into eternal life with God. This year is especially significant as Franciscans throughout the world mark the 800th Anniversary Jubilee of the Transitus of St. Francis. All are welcome to join in this evening of prayer, reflection, and thanksgiving for the life and witness of St. Francis. For more information, contact Chris Beuche, omsgrminister@gmail.com.
