STCJ celebrates Feast of St. Francis of Assisi with Capuchin Priests of Kuwait

 

On October 6, 2026, our parish joyfully welcomed and felicitated all Capuchin priests in Kuwait to mark a profound milestone: the 800th anniversary of the passing of St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan Order.

The solemn yet grand Eucharistic celebration took place at St. Therese of the Child Jesus Church in Salmiya, bringing together the Capuchin clergy from parishes across Kuwait to celebrate Holy Mass. Led by our Salesian clergy, headed by Fr. Savio D’Souza, the community gathered afterward in the courtyard for a hearty meal, fellowship, and shared laughter, honouring the enduring legacy of St. Francis through fraternity and joy.
