Brothers and Sisters,

 

I am thrilled to lead this pilgrimage to Italy, to walk with you in the spirit of St. Francis and allow grace to work in our hearts and deepen our desire to grow in holiness.

Our pilgrimage begins in Assisi, where we’ll venerate St. Francis and St. Clare in the basilicas and shrines dedicated to their lives. our day trip to Siena and tour of its beautiful Duomo, the medieval Cathedral of Siena, will transport us back to the 13th century of St. Catherine of Siena.

Our next stop will take us even further back in history, as we visit Rome, the “Eternal City.” We will visit Rome’s four major basilicas and many historical sites. There will also be preaching, times of anointed praise, and plenty of time for fellowship and gelato! our time in Rome will culminate in a celebration with our Holy Father at St. Peter’s Square on the Solemnity of Pentecost. What an amazing and holy celebration this will be.

I can’t think of a better occasion than a pilgrimage to prompt interior change and deepen conversion. Please prayerfully consider joining Franciscan University of Steubenville, The Ark and the Dove, and the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal on this holy pilgrimage, which I pray will bless you and bring you abundant grace.

Father Dominic Foster, T.O.R.
