Easter Picnic of the Generalate Community PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 15 May 2010, unfortunately on a heavily rainy day, the traditional Easter Picnic of the Generalate Community, was organised with the participation of the confreres, the workers, the candidates of Preparatory Formation of the Italian Province, a priest from the community of Via Giuseppe Ferrari and two confreres from the community of San Silvestro. The well-organised picnic enabled the participants to follow the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi in the "Holy Valleys", by visiting the sanctuaries of Fonte Colombo - where the Mass was celebrated presided over by Fr. Gilberto Orsolin - Foresta, Poggio Bustone and Greccio. All the participants were touched by the welcoming presence of the Franciscan Friars and above all, by the testimony of the Young Austrian in the sanctuary of Foresta, who is a member of the Community World X, founded by a Franciscan Friar. The picnic was concluded with a festive supper.
