Fête de Saint François

The feast of Saint Francis of Assisi is observed at the Chapelle Sainte-Dévote and the Convent of the Franciscan Sisters in Monaco. Saint Francis is the patron saint of ecology, and the celebration has taken on a new significance under Prince Albert II, who has made environmental protection the defining cause of his reign. The Prince Albert II Foundation, founded in 2006, funds projects in climate change, biodiversity, and water resources, and the Prince has traveled to both poles to draw attention to the climate crisis. The Fête de Saint François is a quiet, contemplative day : a reminder that even in a principality built on wealth and luxury, there is room for humility and care for creation.
