Francis Jubilee: Walking Retreats in South Tyrol 3 (For Seniors)
The traditional walking retreats in South Tyrol are also themed this year around the 800th anniversary jubilee of our order's father, Francis of Assisi (+ 1226). The magnificent mountains of South Tyrol, ancient pilgrimage routes as well as new paths of reflection, invite you to trace the steps of faith in God's wonderful nature. Starting from the Franciscan Monastery of Kaltern, where we stay in the guest house, we set out each day with an impulse from the spirituality of St. Francis. Elements: Eucharistic celebrations, shared morning and evening prayer (Lauds/Vespers), times of silence, spiritual impulses, eating together, evening gatherings. Details: Equipment: good hiking boots, backpack for daily provisions, rain and sun protection. Accompanied by: Fr. Georg Tauderer ofm and Maria Schatz with team. Registration: Fr. Georg Tauderer, Franziskanerkloster, Rottenburgerplatz 3, I-39052 Kaltern, +39-320 3363311, georg.tauderer@franziskaner.at Folder Walking Retreats 2026

The Soul's Home Pharmacy – The Art of Living for Everyday LifeFrom the November of Questions to the Advent of Hope, November 6th - 8th, 2026 at Kloster Cazis. Following last year's successful premiere, the "Soul's Home Pharmacy" will open for you again this autumn. In seven impulses – supported by thoughts from Holy Scripture and Viktor Frankl's logotherapy – Michael Ragg unlocks spiritual resources that strengthen you in everyday life: understandable, humorous, and relatable. The lectures pick up on the special atmosphere of November: as the days grow darker, questions about transience and "last things" become more prominent – at the same time, the longing for trust, orientation, and hope grows. From here, the path leads step by step to the preparation for Advent: the time of longing and inner preparation for the arrival of the Redeemer. The retreat weekend is a deepening continuation for previous participants – and at the same time an ideal entry point for new interested parties. In addition to a cheerful yet profound film on Saturday evening, look forward to the following topics: • "Do not forget all his benefits" (Ps 103,2) Gratitude as a source of strength against hopelessness and fear • "Test everything; hold fast what is good" (1 Thess 5,21) Tidying up in the house and in life – and becoming new internally • "In your hand is my life" (Ps 31,16) My death, my decision? The dignity of life until the end • "Let not your hearts be troubled" (Joh 14,1) Ways out of worry and fear – toward freedom and trust • "Do not grieve like the rest" (1 Thess 4,13) Farewell, the grave, and remembrance as sources of hope and joy in life • "Rejoice always in the Lord" (Phil 4,4–5) Rediscovering and passing on the joy of Advent. Participants describe this course as "medicine for body, mind, and soul" – as "powerful, moving, and applicable to everyday life." Particularly appreciated is the combination of profound content, vivid examples, and personal testimony, which provides sustainable impulses for one's own
