Diocese of Caicó to celebrate São Francisco de Assis 2026

The Diocese of Caicó is celebrating the feast of its patron, St. Francis of Assisi, from September 23 to October 3, 2026. This year's festivities mark the 15th anniversary of the diocese's canonical erection.

The diocese chose the theme "As the Father has sent me, so I send you" based on John 20:21. The celebration also honors the 800th anniversary of the passing of St. Francis of Assisi and coincides with the diocese's missionary triennium. According to an official message from the diocese, the anniversary serves as a time to thank God for the history of the local Church and to renew the commitment of the community to its missionary work.
