St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church at 1131 SE Oak, Portland, OR 97214 US - Celebration of the Transitus
| Celebration of the Transitus |
A traditional Franciscan custom, dating from the 17th century, the Transitus commemorates the events surrounding Francis of Assisi's inspiring transition from this life to the next. Join us in song, prayer, scripture, and storytelling in a quiet setting. Afterwards, there will be Italian desserts and wine and the opportunity to share stories of our own loved ones' dying, for it is in these stories we find profound examples of letting go and embracing God.
