This year marks 800 years since the death of St Francis of Assisi and Pope Leo XIV has declared a special year to commemorate this.

Saturday 3 October 2026 is exactly 800 years since St Francis died, and the day before his feast day. To mark this, a walking pilgrimage is planned in the Diocese of Clifton with two legs:

• The Bristol leg will start at Clifton Cathedral at 10:30am (9.4 miles).

• The Clevedon leg will start at the Franciscan church of the Immaculate Conception in Clevedon at 1:00pm (6.4 miles).

The two legs will convene at around 4:30pm at the Church of St Francis of Assisi, Nailsea for refreshments and prayer.

Those who wish, can stay for the 6:00pm Saturday evening Vigil Mass for the Feast of St Francis.
