From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed. The itinerary was meaningful and well planned allowing time for reflection, prayer, and personal connection. Walking in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Clare of Assisi brought a deeper understanding of their mission and devotion, which continues to impact both my personal life and professional purpose. What made this pilgrimage especially powerful was the sense of community. Traveling alongside individuals who began as strangers but quickly became companions in faith. Sharing this journey created lasting friendships rooted in a common purpose and spiritual growth. The leadership was exceptional knowledgeable, supportive, and deeply committed to creating a meaningful experience for every participant. Their passion and care were evident in every moment. This pilgrimage was more than a trip it was a transformative journey of faith, renewal, and connection. I would highly recommend Franciscan Pilgrimage Programs to anyone seeking a deeper spiritual experience. Sincerely, Shannon Diaz

The pilgrimage was a wonderful experience. I loved it. The itinerary covered so much of Assisi and Rome. The group of people who were traveling with me were so friendly and kind. The atmosphere where we stayed was family oriented and it was perfect along with the food. The trip deserves more than 5 stars!

We had a wonderful time, Joanne and Father Jim , we’re great sister. Karina was also great. The people was wonderful. The experience was great. I would do it again. The food was good. It was breathtaking..

This was an amazing trip. Listening to the stories of Francis & Clare, walking the same streets they did, touching the stones Francis used to "rebuild the church", and to spend time in the same places they lived...made this an experience of a lifetime for me. Sr. Joanne & Fr. Jim shared stories of Francis & Clare as if they were speaking of old friends. I am so very grateful to have been part of this Pilgrimage.

This trip exceeded all expectations. It was an overwhelmingly powerful experience. Thank you to Sister Joanne, Father Jim for your hospitality, wealth of knowledge and spiritual wisdom. Thank you to our hosts that welcomed us like family.
