2024-04-02 - 2024-04-09
The Way of St Francis, Via di Francesco, is a pilgrimage route from Florence, through Assisi to Rome visiting key sites from the saint’s life.
The whole thing would be a mammoth undertaking – 550 km – we will walk the 125 kms between the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, Rieti and the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi.
Because this is a pilgrimage, as well as a long distance walk, there will be opportunities for prayer and worship at the beginning and end of the day.
The cost is £1350 per person This covers flights, accommodation, full board, luggage transfers and the Via di San Francesco pilgrim passport.
This pilgrimage involves a substantial amount of walking, some of which will be over irregular surfaces.
If walking up to 13+ miles a day is something you find difficult, then this pilgrimage is unsuitable for you. Further details, including how to book are via this link.
Questions etc to Archdeacon of Norwich, the Ven Keith James.

NCCL: Monuments in Norwich churches
2024-03-09 10:00 - 12:30 (Europe/London)
As is well known, Norwich is blessed with many medieval churches, a fine Norman cathedral, and several other distinctive places of worship such as the Octagon Chapel in Colegate. On this course Professor Christopher Joby discusses some of the many monuments and gravestones housed in these churches and the funerary inscriptions incised on them. A striking feature of these monuments and inscriptions is their diversity. Some depict the deceased recumbent, whilst others show them kneeling and in one case at least standing. The material from which they are made also varies. Professor Joby pays special attention to funerary inscriptions and explores questions such as who wrote them, why they wrote them, and why they are written in different languages. Some are in English or Latin, whilst others are in both. Monuments to Dutch Strangers are in Dutch, whilst the Suckling monument in St. Andrew’s has inscriptions in five languages. This promises to be a fascinating morning of discovery about Norwich’s rich collection of tomb monuments.
Led by Professor Christopher Joby, for Norwich Centre for Christian Learning (NCCL)
