In 2014, after attending St. Francis’s feast day celebrations in Assisi, April and her husband spent two weeks retracing on foot St. Francis’s last trip into Assisi. A few pictures from their trip appear in The Complete St. Francis (Jon Sweeney, Paraclete Press, 2015) scroll down this page for other pictures. Afterwards, April retold the the incredible life stories of St. Francis at the Rector’s Forum of St. David’s Episcopal Church:
Lesson 1: The “Ordination” of St. Francis
Lesson 2: The Formation of Three Orders
Lesson 3: The Last Years of His Life
