How many individuals may be included with one group?
Hi Mary! You can have as many individuals as you like! We will ask for each individual’s name and contact info after you register, as we like to keep track of all of our pilgrims on the journey. Let me know if you have any questions!
Will this virtual retreat be offered again in the future?
I would be interested in experiencing it.
Thank you
Hi Sister Laura—
Thanks for your note and for your interest in the Virtual Assisi Pilgrimage. While we don’t have another one scheduled at the moment, we’ve seen how meaningful the experience is for many and we do hope to offer it again in the future.
With the Feast of St. Francis approaching, I would love to be able to offer this to the Sisters of St. Francis. Is it possible that there is an on demand option or will this be offered again in the future? Thank you.
Hi Wendy, email me at julianne@franfed.org and we can chat about some options! Thanks -Julianne
Looking forward to participating in this virtual experience!
