The 2026 Jubilee Year, from January 10, 2026 to January 10, 2027, was declared by Pope Leo XIV to mark the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis of Assisi’s death.

“The Year of Saint Francis must not become yet another chapter rich in special spiritual effects, but a
passage from enthusiasm to deep maturity, from spectacular celebration to imitation in daily life.”
