Today, the Salvatorian Sisters had the incredible opportunity to embark on a pilgrimage to the heart of Italy, where the legacy of St. Francis and St. Clare speaks volumes of love, humility, and service. Guided by their example, we were profoundly touched by the serene beauty of Assisi, a place that welcomes all, especially those in need.
It was a day filled with joy as we spent time in prayer and reflection, embracing the spirit of service that these two beloved saints embodied. We were even blessed to feel the presence of Bl. Carlo Acutis, whose serene spirit reminds us to see the beauty in every life.
Join us in celebrating this enriching experience and sharing the message of love and compassion that Assisi so beautifully exemplifies.
