St. Francis of Assisi’s radical life inspired a tectonic shift in the Church 800 years ago, the effects of which are still felt today. On Journey Italy, we walk in the footsteps of young Francis and his friend Clare who gave up lives of nobility to live in poverty with community serving the sick, poor, and needy.
Learning from St. Francis and St. Clare gives us the opportunity to consider where we are at in their faith journey, and what moves we might make to live their lives more authentically and fully in pursuit of Christ.
April 10 - 13, 2025
