KNIGHTS OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI PRESENTS: The Relics of St. Francis of Assisi: 800th Anniversary Celebration

For the first time on U.S. soil, the relics of St. Francis of Assisi will be on display, right here in San Francisco, in the sanctuary of the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. This isn't an exhibit that comes around often. It's not one that comes around ever, really, not in 800 years. And you're invited to be among the very first to witness it.

Join the Knights of Saint Francis of Assisi for an unforgettable evening honoring the life, legacy, and enduring spirit of St. Francis.

Here's how the evening unfolds:

6:30 PM. Doors open at the Cathedral plaza. Free valet parking will be waiting for you.

6:30 to 8:00 PM. Step into the sanctuary for a rare, once in a lifetime viewing of the relics exhibition.

6:45 PM. Enjoy an evening featuring chef-curated culinary stations, signature cocktails, wine, and beer.

Live music by Teo Bok, Grammy Nominee '26, one of the youngest Italian artists ever to be nominated for a Grammy, flown in especially for this celebration.

8:00 PM. The evening closes out with a dessert station worth saving room for.

We can only welcome 300 guests to this celebration, so once tickets are gone, they're gone.

Location

Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption Plaza at 1111 Gough Street, San Francisco, CA 94109

Tickets

General Admission: $150
Early Bird: $130 (through August 31, 2026)
Your ticket includes the relics viewing, valet parking, hors d'oeuvres, dessert, wine, cocktails, and live music. An evening you won't find anywhere else in the world this year.

Become a Patron of the Relic Exhibition

Beyond the celebration: help us protect the relics themselves.

This gift is bigger than one evening. Between now and November 28, 2026, we are building, and securing the museo with 24/7 armed security, a dedicated sanctuary space that will house and protect the relics for public viewing. Your support makes that possible.

Give $500 or more and we'll add your name to our Patrons list on our website, a lasting record of your part in this historic moment.

Give $10,000 or more and you'll receive an exclusive invitation to the ribbon cutting ceremony, plus a private tour of the relics inside the Museo before the doors open to the plaza celebration.

This is a once in 800 years moment. Please share it with the friends, family, and fellow devotees of St. Francis who won't want to miss it.

This event is sponsored by Bank of San Francisco, Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation, Cline Family Cellars, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Crankstart, and other distinguished sponsors.
