At 6.00pm the friars are sharing their Evening Office in public and then at 6.30pm celebrating the Transitus (or Passing) of St. Francis which is a time of readings and prayers recalling this beautiful saint's last words to his friars before passing from this transcient world, with all of its suffering, into everlasting glory. At 10.00am tomorrow the Holy Mass for the feast day will be offered in the friary church of St. David.
