Hundreds of pilgrims lined up before dawn on Sunday to be among the first to pray before the exposed relics of St. Francis in his basilica in Assisi, Italy.
The saint’s bones will lie in a glass box through March 22 — fully visible outside the stone tomb in a crypt where they usually rest — as hundreds of thousands of people venerate the holy remains.
We are currently screening a 30-minute documentary, produced by the Secretariat for Evangelization and Discipleship, that celebrates the history, faith, and contributions of the Black Catholic community in the Archdiocese of Boston. Through archival footage and interviews, the film highlights pastoral leadership and the creation of sacred spaces where Black Catholics could gather, worship, and be fully recognized, honoring their lasting impact on the Archdiocese and the wider Church.
