St. Francis of Assisi American National Catholic Church

Eight hundred years ago, St. Francis of Assisi embraced Sister Death and passed to eternal life. The founder of the Franciscan Order spent his life caring for the poor and promoting peace during a turbulent time, all while accompanied by his Franciscan brothers, sisters, and friends.
Centuries later, the Franciscan Community of Mercy is proud to carry on his legacy through humble service to the people of God.
As we commemorate the 800th anniversary of the Transitus of St. Francis on October 3, 2026, we join the Universal Church in her hope that St. Francis's message of peace will find "a profound echo in the Church and society today."
The Franciscan Community of Mercy will celebrate this special anniversary in New Jersey at St. Francis of Assisi ANCC in Glen Ridge, NJ, on Saturday,&nbsp;October 3rd, at 7:00 P.M.
Please join us!
May the Lord give you His peace!

Watchung Booksellers welcomes chef, restaurateur, and bestselling author Yotam Ottolenghi in conversation with Ina Garten to celebrate&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/watchungbooksellers/2147623" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Simple Too</a>, the long-awaited follow-up to his bestselling Ottolenghi Simple.
Eight years after redefining “flavor without fuss,” Yotam Ottolenghi returns to explore what “simple” means now. In conversation with Ina Garten, he’ll share how Simple Too was born from real life: recipes that work with you, not against you — dishes you can begin with half a plan and still end with a deeply satisfying meal. Expect laughter, honesty, and that signature Ottolenghi spark as he declares, “The lemon is back!” and explains why bold flavor remains at the heart of simplicity.
This event will be held at First Congregation Church at 40 South Fullerton. Tickets are $60 and include a signed copy of Simple Too.
