Pope Leo has declared the 800th Anniversary of the Death of St Francis a special Jubilee year.
In his Christmas Letter, our Minister General invites us to contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation, as Francis lived it and passed it on to us.
Four young Franciscan friars were beatified recently in Paris.
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.
