On the vigil of the Solemnity of Our Holy Father Francis, to commemorate his death, we had a Transitus Celebration and First Vespers of the Solemnity. 

Fr. Kline was the celebrant, and we were blessed to have our Dominican Sisters of Mary join us for the festivities.  We began at the house and processed to the main Chapel while praying the Litany of St. Francis.  After Vespers, we venerated his relic.  In the course of Vespers, Father Kline gave a beautiful exhortation.  Click here to view this exhortation as well as his sermon from Mass.

To all of you who joined us in the Novena to St. Francis, be assured that your intentions were remembered in our daily prayers throughout the Novena.
