Capuchin Franciscans

Invitation

Dear Friend, I first toured Assisi in 1982, fresh out of college and looking forward to beginning the Capuchin Novitiate. Forty-four years later, I have dozens of memorials from numerous pilgrimages to Italy and the many towns associated with St. Francis and the Capuchins. I am looking forward to reliving with you many moments from the life of St. Francis: seeing the cross which spoke to him, enjoying coffee in a piazza where he tamed an angry wolf, and witnessing the site where he saw the baby Jesus with his own eyes, having built the first Christmas crib. We will pray at the basilica where his body lies, and view the incorrupt bodies of St. Clare and St. Carlos Acustis, followed by visits to notable Capuchin shrines hosting the House of Nazareth and the tomb of Padre Pio. St. Francis is admired by many, but to know him requires breathing the Italian air; walking the streets of Rome, Assisi, Greccio, and Laverna; and praying quietly where he prayed. He was never alone but always journeyed with the brothers. This is why three Capuchins are guiding this pilgrimage, so that you, too, can help us to enjoy this 800th Anniversary of the Death of St. Francis as he himself would want it: Enjoying creation, speaking of Jesus Christ, celebrating Holy Mass and partaking of Italian pasta as a family. The Capuchin Franciscans
