- Faith and Light in Assisi
- Faith and Light is organizing a pilgrimage to Assisi for the weekend after Easter.
Groups from Faith and Light across Italy will attend, along with a group from Switzerland, one from Belgium, and friends from other countries.
This pilgrimage will allow us to share a warm and fraternal gathering and will help us join with Saint Francis in the joy of all those who place their treasure in Jesus.
Those who wish to register should contact the leaders of their own group or write to the Faith and Light office for more information: via Cola di Rienza 140 – 00192 Rome.
