Franciscan Pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi

In a time in history when the message of Jesus had been so distorted as to justify war, military conquest, and the dominance of the elite, St. Francis of Assisi recaptured the counter-cultural message of Jesus that centered those on the margins. His approach to faith and its practice reinvigorated his world in a way that has lasting power to this day, and the message of his life gains increasing relevance year-by-year.

Join us for a week of walking in the footsteps of Francis, two days in Rome, then five days in the medieval hill town of Assisi. We visit the places that shaped Francis from a young man seeking wealth and fame into the founder of a movement that is rooted in nature and that still cares for those on the margins.
