Paul Kimmerling began Journeys To Assisi to invite others into a dialogue about the questions he heard on his own pilgrimages to Assisi, beginning in 2008. These questions seemed to call to him from the lives of Sts. Francis and Clare, who lived there 800 years ago. They are questions that resonate across time and circumstance.
Believing that we are each called to be fully who we are in our own lives, times and contexts, how might we learn from Francis and Clare? How can their life lessons help us live more fully into the richness of our own existence?
Join us to ponder these deeper questions.
