Where can I attend Mass in English in Assisi?

The Basilica of St. Francis lists a Sunday Mass in English at 9:00 a.m. in the Upper Church on its current schedule, the only regularly scheduled English Mass in Assisi; confirm the time on the basilica's hours page before travel. On weekdays there is no fixed English Mass, and English-speaking pilgrims attend the Italian Masses in the Lower Church at 7:15, 10:00, and 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Groups traveling with their own priest book a side chapel or the crypt altar at the tomb through the basilica sacristy, which is how most English-language Masses in Assisi take place. Request weeks ahead, and earlier for October and Easter.

Confessions at the basilica are heard on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and English-speaking confessors are usually available; ask at the information office by the Lower Church entrance, which also posts notices of visiting English-speaking communities celebrating at Santa Maria degli Angeli or San Damiano.
