Study Pilgrimage
This program immerses the pilgrim in original Franciscan stories, with time to deepen an awareness of Franciscan history, spirituality and the Rules which guide the Franciscan way of life. You will explore significant places that played a role in the conversion process of SS. Francis and Clare and their followers, visiting sanctuaries that shorter programs cannot include. The hidden power of sacred places will be experienced through extensive lectures, rituals, prayer, Eucharistic celebrations, study and process time shared with pilgrim companions. In addition to visiting most of the significant sites in Assisi, you will spend time in the Rieti Valley and Rome, and experience the beauty of La Verna, Lago Trasimeno, and Cortona.
