After having Mass at the Basilica of St. Francis and a tour of the church, we marched from our hotel to the top of Mt. Subasio to visit the Hermitage of St. Francis. About 100 pilgrims made the trek in hot weather and against a steep incline…shared it was worth it. We will visit the tomb of St. Clare and then visit the open tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis a young man that died of leukemia in 2006 at the age of 15, never too young to be a saint!
