Fr. John McCloskey OFM Cap will be leading a pilgrimage to Italy from May 1 to 12, 2023. We will see places of great spiritual, artistic and historical importance in Rome, Assisi, Padua and elsewhere. This trip has a distinctly Franciscan theme, and will visit the small country shrine where St. Francis celebrated Christmas with the first living Nativity scene, and the mountaintop in Tuscany where he received the Sacred Stigmata.
