Next year at this time Chris will be leading a Franciscan pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome: June 17-26, 2020. A brochure is attached for you to look at. I’m excited to make a pilgrimage to the birthplace and regions walked by one of the greatest Catholic saints The spiritual journey follows the Saint’s life in a five-day in-depth exploration of the Franciscan holy sites in and around Assisi, followed by a three-day exploration throughout Rome. The pilgrimage is through NATIVITY PILGRIMAGE with a roundtrip flight from San Diego is $3,699.00 per person. The pilgrimage is open to anyone: San Rafael parishioners, family friends, those of other parishes, anyone who wants to have a spiritual encounter with the ‘Little Poor Man of Assisi.’
But there’s more: You can extend your trip from June 26-29, 2020 in order to travel to Oberammergau, Germany to see the world famous Passion Play that is celebrated only once a decade for an additional $1,100.00 per person.
Because we need to provide NATIVITY PILGRIMAGE with information regarding our numbers, if you are interested in joining us next year please make every effort to join us for an informational meeting on Tuesday, June 18 at 7:00 p.m. in rooms A & B in the parish center for all the details.
