Jubilee Year of St Francis 2026 - 2027 with Mgr Daniel McHugh

"Go and rebuild my Church"

In this special Burning Bush vlog post Mgr Daniel McHugh, the Co-ordinator for Ethnic Chaplaincies and Eastern Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of Birmingham, shares his recent visit to Assisi for a short Pilgrimage.

"This Jubilee Year marks 800 years of St Francis' death. On the short Pilgrimage I recorded reflections at a number of locations: then my cousin Con produced the special vlog. I noted a Franciscan Calendar for 2026, entitled San Francesco Vive, St Francis Lives On: I feel it is a good way to sum up the saint’s inspiration today."
