Eight hundred years after the death of Saint Francis of Assisi, relics connected to Saint Francis and Saint Clare will travel from Assisi to the city that bears his name for an extraordinary six-week exhibition, free and open to the public.

Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, San Francisco
October 16 – November 28, 2026
Free admission

The exhibition comes at a uniquely meaningful moment: the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis’s death, the 250th anniversary of San Francisco, and Italian Heritage Month—just days after October 4, Italy’s National Day of Saint Francis of Assisi.
