10th - 14th November 2026, Rome and Assisi, Italy
Dear friends, this being the jubilee year of St Francis on the 800th anniversary of his death, I will be leading a 5-day pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi this November 9th to 13th .
We hope to experience the General Papal audience with Pope Leo XIV (if he is in residence), a guided tour of St Peter’s Basilica, the Archbasilica of St John Lateran, the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls and the Basilica of St Mary Major (and see the final resting place of Pope Francis).
We will also tour Assisi, the historical city pervaded by the spirit of St. Francis, viewing the Basilica of St Francis, St Clare, St Mary of the Angels and St Carlo Acutis’ tomb. It promises to be a blessed and enriching journey on the footsteps of St Peter and St Francis. I hope many of our parishioners can join us.
Fr John Jesus
