Francis and Clare of Assisi were visionary leaders and authors of a profound "revolution of tenderness" that has much to offer us today.  Francis and Clare recovered a gospel-inspired simplicity in the face of bewildering and violent social changes.  

Join us on the 800th anniversary of Francis' death as we explore Francis and Clare's heartfelt desire to honor the presence of God in creation and in simple forms of human encounter, especially with the marginalized.  Experience the peace of Assisi in places of significance to them as we gain new insight into how to be faithful to the gospel's call to solidarity, wisdom and goodness.  

Your week-long journey includes contextual information and periods of reflection in Assisi at both Francis' and Clare's birth homes, the former leper colony outside the city walls, beautiful San Damiano and a day trip to La Verna.  

Your fee includes meals and lodging, guided site visits with reflection, local transportation and airport transfer to and from Rome.  You will be responsible for securing your airfare and arriving in Rome by 11 AM on June 7th.
