Today we gathered to celebrate St Francis Day and mark the 800th anniversary of the Transitus of St Francis of Assisi.

Thank you to everyone who assisted in making the day possible, and to all who joined us for the Eucharist in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit. Following the service, everyone gathered in the function room of Old Bishopsbourne for a light lunch and fellowship.

It was a wonderful opportunity to give thanks for the life, witness, and enduring legacy of St Francis, and to celebrate together as a college community.

"Eight hundred years on, Francis still calls us back to simplicity in a world of excess, to peace in a world of violence, to reverence in a world of exploitation, and to joy in a world so often marked by despair."

“The legacy of Francis is not ultimately about animals, though he loved them. Nor is it about romantic poverty or medieval nostalgia. The legacy of Francis is a radically Christ-centred life marked by humility, joy, peace and love for all creation,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
