Marcia francescana - walking pilgrimage to Assisi
Every year from July 25th to August 4th, the Marcia Francescana takes place. The Marcia is a walking pilgrimage to Assisi with young people. We meet in Bozen, travel together by train to our starting point in Senigallia, north of Ancona. Then we spend six days on foot through the Marche region. The days are characterized by walking, shared times of prayer, and conversation with one another, while always leaving time for oneself. One day is a quiet day of reflection. We enjoy two days in Assisi. Participation requires average physical and mental resilience. We walk between 20-25 kilometers per day. Everyone carries their own luggage in a backpack. A kitchen team provides catering. The accommodations are simple; we sleep on foam mats and in sleeping bags.

- The More-Week by the Sea
Bormes-les-Mimosas is a beautiful area in southern France, with many sandy beaches, a rich cultural history, and numerous vineyards. In the small town, there is also a small Romanesque church dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. Through his intercession, the inhabitants were freed from the plague in 1483. Our group house is located near La Faviere, which forms the coastal face of the small town of Bormes-les-Mimosas. In the More-Week by the Sea, it is important to have time. Time for the relationship with God, who created the world so beautifully: through the opportunity for prayer, as well as through short impulses and exchange groups, through the celebration of the Holy Mass, adoration, or through the opportunity for confession and individual conversations. Of course, we will also have time to enjoy the sea and the surroundings by swimming, biking, jogging, kayaking, or over a good French meal.
