Congratulations to the new members of Knights of Saint Francis, in Umbria.
The Knights of Saint Francis have expanded from San Francisco to Umbria, Italy, the homeland of Saint Francis. Their first gathering took place at San Damiano, where Saint Clare lived, and Saint Francis wrote the Canticle of the Creatures 800 years ago. This milestone reinforces their mission and growing unity.
