See “Event Announcement” below for more extensive event description and registration information.
Father Dwayne Thoman invites you to join him for an exciting journey to Italy. Our program explores the life and times of some of the great visionary men and women of faith – including St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi, and Saints Peter and Paul of Rome.
Rome and Assisi are two of the most fascinating cities in Europe – Rome being a living museum of ancient, medieval and Renaissance monuments and Assisi being one of the most beautifully preserved medieval walled towns in Italy. We will balance guided visits to religious, historical and artistic sites with opportunities to explore Rome and Assisi at your own leisure. We plan to celebrate Eucharist each day in historic chapels that have been home to pilgrims over the centuries. Of course, we will enjoy the warm hospitality, good food, and festive way of life that the Italians exemplify. Come join us for an inspiring retreat and an enriching journey to one of the great destinations of the world!
