Our Holy Father in Assisi

Assisi

Thanks to Fr. Daren my mom and I are glued to the EWTN for coverage of our Holy Father's trip to visit the tomb of St. Francis of Assisi.

This saint is very dear to our family. Our family's parish church had the Franciscan Friars, the Capuchin OFM CAPs there for many years. We became good friends with almost all of them and even attended a few ordinations.

Thanks again Fr. Daren!

Thanks for sharing this, Esther!

That's something else we have in common - the Capuchins. My first spiritual director was a Capuchin OFM and my husband's first spirtual director was also a Franciscan.

I loved visiting Assisi - even more so than Rome.
