  • Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB

St. Francis of Assisi is amongst the most deeply loved and admired of all the saints in the Christian tradition. He is identified with the embrace of radical Evangelical poverty, simplicity and freedom, and the encounter with the Divinity through the created world. Emerging from the chaos and turbulence of plague- and war-ravaged 13th -century Italy, he remains a source of deep inspiration for many people in the contemporary world. This weekend will draw upon the earliest primary sources, including the writings of Francis himself and the primitive hagiographical accounts, to present an authentic picture of this beloved figure.

 

The first session for all Institute Weekends begins at 7:30pm on the Friday (participants are encouraged to attend Vespers at 6:30pm, followed by dinner, if possible). The final session each weekend will conclude at 11:30am on the Sunday, followed by lunch.
